ReadAir is an application built on Adobe Air that brings your Google Reader to your desktop. First of all, it doesn’t resemble Google Reader in any way, aesthetically speaking. It has a lot of the same features that Google Reader has, but in a much sleeker interface. You can log in right away with your Google account and all of your feeds, tags, stared and shared items are ready and waiting. There are a few things missing though (I think, because I don’t use Google Reader). You can star items but it doesn’t seem that you can share them in ReadAir. Also, you can’t use any keyboard shortcuts and it doesn’t seem that you can drag and drop feeds into folders or rearrange feeds with drag and drop. ReadAir is still in very early stages, so I’m anxious to see what features they add next. Here’s my screencast tour of ReadAir:
