Adobe AIR extensions for CS3
Kudos to Adobe for releasing some extensions for CS3 to produce .AIR files right from within the IDE. This greatly simplifies the process of creating AIR files (before you had to jump through a number of hoops such as installing the Flex SDK, etc..). For those that don't know, AIR is adobe's solution for doing desktop apps/widgets, similar to the Java runtime.
In relation to Touchlib, I think packaging the multitouch flash apps as an .AIR file is the way to go. AIR also has a very nice built in ability to display fully browsable web pages, making a multitouch browser in flash possible.. I suspect Adobe will also be adding some other powerful features to AIR which could help make it attractive for developing simple, graphical desktop apps.

Yes I really like Adobe AIR and the fact that they are using WebKit (Safari web engine) for rendering webpages inside Flash apps :-)
