The much awaited AIR 2.0 beta and Flash Player 10.1 betas are now available for download from Adobe labs. It comes with a lot ( I mean a *lot*) of great features.

The global error handling and multi-touch / gesture support are my favorites among others like recording sound using a local microphone without really going through a server. I played around with a few things in the new API’s and I am very excited to see what is possible using the new features. You can view the full set of features here

Get started and build something really cool with these beta’s today! Christian Cantrell’s blog has some great tutorials that will get you ramped up.
