Hey Mike,
Do you think, serial port capabilities is something AIR will include some point soon in the future?

I have seen many people trying to add support for several hardware.

[...] And remember AIR applications built for Flash 10 will require AIR 1.5 to run (the current version is 1.1). You can compile and run your application without a lot of trouble, but if you try installing your packaged Flash 10-based application on AIR 1.1, you’ll run into an slightly misleading message that says the package requires an “older” version of AIR and that you need an “upated” version of the packaged application. For that to work, we’ll have to wait for AIR 1.5, which will come “this fall”. You can find more information about AIR 1.5 here. [...]

Mike, will 1.5 include any improvements for silent installation of the runtime and/or an AIR app? My sysadmins use batch files and GPOs to push out MSI’s to install apps, and AIR doesn’t support this method. Was hoping to push out a large-scale app this spring and was hoping a winter update to AIR would address this problem…

Very nice to hear about AIR 1.5 and a big plus for the addition of Encrypted databases. This is a sweet feature. Now if you guys could also encrypt the files (.html, .js, .css) that are distributed inside the apps folder, then that would be splendid :)

The Missing Pieces:
What about the memory issues with AIR? Isn’t this more important than the nice flashy stuff?

The other issue is the ability to launch other programs. Some user have even requested the ability to launch non-executable files such as .doc and .xls files. Will this be added to 1.5 or is it not an important feature to have?

Mike,
I know you guys are working hard to improve the platform but please see if you can address the memory issues and the ability to least launch other enterprise documents.
