A lot has been said about the upcoming Adobe Apollo environment, good and bad. Some people don't like the fact that its another installable runtime, some think its great because of the possibilities. For certain though, this cross operating system runtime is going to be sparking up some very intuitive rich internet applications for the desktop in the next little while. Apollo is scheduled for release at the end of the year, but is currently available online in a public alpha mode.Adobe's Mike Downey took the audience through Apollo at Sunday's FITC in Toronto, and showed off some very cool in-development projects, including a desktop application that is in the works for eBay, RSS reader, and the Adobe Media Player.
Designers and Developers will have fun with this application; it's built to handle all of the standard tools and code, including support for Flash, Actionscript and HTML.
