I busted out the Visa and got my Flex3 last night – $299 for the Professional upgrade.

And of course there was rejoicing throughout the land because AIR 1.0 was released!

My Pownce client still works. The Google Analytics Reporting Suite seems okay. MoTwitAir is a go! ( Kudos Sim! ) But Snitter was a no go. :-(

( Update: Snitter has a fix for AIR 1.0 posted already. Snitter on! )

The Adobe Media Player still works. I really need to use that more to watch videos at TED.com.

I hope the Flex team is kicking it at a huge release party before heading off for a well deserved break. Then back to work on Flex 4! ( Actually, Ely is probably half finished refactoring the Flex framework already. )

Adobe also tossed up a new ad-banner on their homepage. I like the “Carpe Desktop” bit.
