Real-World Rich Internet Applications

It was only a matter of time...
Over the past year, many Flex & Flex applications have been popping up on the internet with stunning graphics capabilities. Not only being able to display pretty pictures of graphics effects at runtime, but actual image editing, photo retouching, etc... First there was Picnik, then Aviary, now Adobe has joined the ranks, with Photshop Express. I was wondering when they would come out with their own... It only makes sense: Adobe being the creator of the massively powerful photoshop and the provider of the Flash platform. Each of these applications attacks the online image editing scenario from a different standpoint. Photoshop Express looks to be more targeted at retouching photos for the average user, where Aviary and Picnik are targeting a more-creative and complex toolset. All are great examples of the graphics capability of the Flash player.
Update...
I just went through the full registration, instead of just the test drive. PhotoShop Express looks more like a Flickr competitor, with some serious photo-retouching capabilities. You can upload photos, create albums, and share them. Definitely a cool application.
