Adobe to launch a new Help browser?

At yesterday's Ticad conference Adobe's Mark Wheeler (MD Northern Europe) spent time in his presentation talking about Adobe Air. Mark suggested it could be used as a new Help (or document) viewer technology.

Air enables anyone to build a simple desktop application. Used a Help browser, it can integrate content residing on the PC with other content residing on the Web. User comments/annotations could be displayed at the bottom of the page. Air also offers the abilty to embed two way audio , call up an extract of a video, and include Flash files, PDFs and HTML.

Air is currently in beta and is available from labs.adobe.com

He also talked about Acrobat files that can be "turned off" should you wish users no longer to view the file.

And RoboHelp? Mark said very briefly it remains a core product, but didn't say anything more about it.
