Though your right about Adobe AIR and Flash, but they haven't announce 
Reader.  Even though the evidence clearly shows Adobe is abandoning 
Linux products.  I would think they would have already announce this by 
now since flash is their biggest player in web market.  Though Flash is 
going to be use through Google's chrome API.  That is what I want to see 
how fast Google will implement this and when Ubuntu(or Xubuntu) will 
implement the new flash.
