What version of JavaScript? What extra CSS effects I can count on, etc. Frustrating. With AIR, I have trouble figuring out what the exact capabilities are. What version of JavaScript?

I think I have to correct you: http://ajaxian.com/archives/titanium-pr2-released Titanium is still young, but offers already many features and an offline-Bespin would be possible today (Titanium uses a recent webkit build and not one over a year old). Creating an offline version of Bespin with Titanium is the better choice: - latest webkit - less restrictions (you can open applications, documents and execute shell commands) - open source - no flash overhead >Adobe AIR really impressed us with the richness of its JavaScript APIs which wrap native APIs (as well as the accompanying documentation).

Titanium is still young, but offers already many features and an offline-Bespin would be possible today (Titanium uses a recent webkit build and not one over a year old).

Creating an offline version of Bespin with Titanium is the better choice:
- latest webkit
- less restrictions (you can open applications, documents and execute shell commands)
- open source
- no flash overhead

So less performance hit on app. But careful when using PB effects on huge images, it will suck up your ram. The best thing about using PB effects is that they get threaded.
