Well, I know it's only a preview release but if the same amount of expertise went into the product as into the website then, well, there is a problem. Yes, I'm being a moron, but marketing is important and with a website that is totally screwed up on FF3 (linux) users will not know what to expect. The whole of the footer is shifted together, the background shadings don't line up with the text, etc, etc.

Other then that, this thing does look interesting! :)

And best of all they explain the code like if it were the Hello World example

Now TitaniumApp PR2 is available for download and it now supports Mac, Win and Linux so it becomes interesting as an alternative to Adobe AIR. And since it is fully open source it may be even more interesting for some.

@ExtJS Team: Are there any plans for the future to also support TitaniumApp beside Adobe AIR?
