Now this is downright magnificent. The Sun, out of the UK, and with the highest circulation of any English-language newspaper in the world, has created one of the most technically advanced, and unique desktop experiences with Adobe AIR.

In a nutshell, the Desktop Keeley AIR application has two parts. The first is a small window that reads in the latest news, sports, and showbiz gossip. The second part is, well, what seems to be a transparent full screen window upon which a video of model, Keeley Hazell, cruises around, as if she were an avatar.

Update:

Here are the video-reviews of the Desktop Keeley AIR app. I’ve broken the review into three easy pieces. In each piece I highlight what I like, and what could be improved.
