Titanium Screencast by Jonathan Snook →
esbueno:
Great stuff here from Mr. Snook. I’m surprised Titanium hasn’t been more widely accepted. With the power of Webkit at it’s core, it can do so much with so little, as Jonathan shows…
I agree — I’d really like to see this take off more. If for no other reason than to provide a great Adobe Air competitor. I’m curious to tinker with Titanium.
