What exactly is Adobe air? What does it do?

What is Adobe air, and what is it used for? Which applications are popular for using Adobe air?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), also known as Adobe AIR, is a cross-platform runtime environment developed by Adobe Systems for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be deployed as desktop applications."

Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that lets developers combine HTML, AJAX, Adobe Flash®, and Flex technologies to deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) on the desktop. Adobe AIR™ allows developers to use familiar tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver® CS5, Flex® Builder™ 3, Flash CS5 Professional or any text editor to build their applications and easily deliver a single application installer that works across operating systems.

Actually it is a faster way to edit website
mainly meant for spot editing with extra features
As what ever editing U do it will be automatically it will be saved to the server of the site

AIR is a technology built by Adobe. AIR is an abbreviation for Adobe Integrated Runtime.
It can be run on Windows, Macintosh and a very usable Beta version for Linux, and installs the same way as Flash. It runs on the desktop, but not as a web-based application or a desktop application— just somewhere in between.
Web developers can make AIR applications using their existing knowledge of HTML, JavaSript/Ajax, Adobe Flash™, CSS, PDF and Flex technologies. AIR serves as a combining factor that would allow an application be functional on the desktop more than on the web browser. In other words, it is deployed on the desktop (but not exactly a desktop application) so it can access local hard drives like save files on them and store data on the computer’s database. It is also not a full-blown desktop application, because it can communicate online.
Many applications actually use AIR. Some of them are Tweetr, Mini Digg, Flump (Flickr Dump) and Adobe Media Player.
Hope this helps.
