The hunt for the illusive Apollo!

Hats off to Ryan Stewart for attempting to keep a bit of a central place for Apollo Questions. For those new to my blog or the world of adobe, Apollo is to be a desktop client to house flash html javascript on the desktop, like a browser…..but focused on allowing RIAs etc to come offline and still have that internet aware state. Read more about it at Ryans Blog. This whole topic is something I really see a need for. Offline caching, desktop interaction….so many more possibbilites. Can you think of some? Well if you can Adobe has set up an email address asking for ideas: wish-apollo@adobe.com

I am saving a few of mine up to do one extra big email :)   I even got one of the boys at BloginBlack in trouble because I asked if Apollo could be used to make flash widgets. Yes it aparently could be, but Mike Chambers was very adament that Apollo will be much much more.WICKED!!

So var  Apollo:SomeDesktopClient + flash 9:SimplyCool + AS3:AboutTime = some simply wicked oportunities!!

Stay tuned on this one. Oh and also the new Flash player beta 2 and Flex build beta 2 are out at adobe labs if you want to download.
