Apollo Launches!

Adobe has just launched the first public alpha version of Apollo on Adobe Labs. Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system application runtime that allows web developers to leverage their existing skills in HTML, JavaScript and Ajax, as well as Flash and Flex software, to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) on the desktop.

Apollo was mentioned briefly in Ben Nadel's review of the CFUNITED Express NYC event, and in other articles... Look for more information on Apollo in future articles on Fusion Authority. Below you'll find some links to Adobe's press release, the Apollo page on Adobe.com, and an interesting TechCrunch article with some comments that reveal a mixed reaction to (and in some cases, perhaps a lack of understanding of) Apollo and what it is meant for.
