Now that Adobe has released the final version of AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), what are developers going to do with it?

Lots of people (myself included) have been playing with AIR for months now and a few apps have already hit the web. ReadWriteWeb put together a list of six apps worth checking out to give you a taste of what AIR can do:

Twhirl

Twhirl is a Twitter client that runs from your desktop and allows you to do the obvious thing, follow tweets, but also lets you connect to multiple Twitter accounts, search users, search timelines, follow and unfollow users, and post tweets. One of the best Twitter and AIR apps out there right now. Grab it here.

Google Analytics

If you run a website, you want to keep track of traffic and visitor stats. If you use Google Analytics, check out the Google Analytics AIR app. All of your visitor, traffic and content reports are available from your desktop and they can even be exported to PDF, Excel, or XML formats. Grab it here.

RichFLV

Edit your FLV (Flash Video) files with Adobe Flash. RichFLV can read, edit, modify or delete cuepoints, cut FLV files, convert FLV to SWF files, and even convert sound to an MP3 file. Grab it here.

AgileAgenda

A project scheduling utility that lets you do all the things you’d expect to be able to do in a project management app. Enter info about tasks, move them around, assign them to people, change their priority and duration, etc. It also has a GANTT view. Data can be stored either locally or on AgileAgenda’s web server, and the app supports data sharing via XML or PDF exports. Grab it here.

AOL Top 100 Videos

You may not know this, but AOL has its own video site. Check out videos from various genres like “Rock & Alternative”, “Hip Hop”, “Pop”, etc. using their AIR app. You can bookmark your favorite videos and play them in a window, full screen, or in a sidebr-like Docked View. Grab it here.

Xdrive Lite

If you’re an Xdrive user, you might want to check out Xdrive Lite, their desktop-based AIR app for managing files on your Xdrive account. Grab it here.
