Here Comes Adobe Apollo

16 December Michael Arrington

Steve Gillmor and I recently spoke with Adobe senior vice president and chief software architect Kevin Lynch about the upcoming release of the Apollo platform. Apollo, the code name for “a cross-operating system runtime” is a platform that will allow developers to create to desktop applications using existing web development skills such as Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript and Ajax. Web applications can be run online or offline through Apollo, which will also have the traditional benefits of desktop applications - speed, drag and drop functionality from the desktop to the application, and accessing the file system. Apollo is cross-platform, meaning any application developed for it will run on Windows, Mac and Linux machines. And they are promising easy porting of existing web applications to the Apollo platform.

Adobe is counting on platforms like Apollo to drive future revenue growth. Look for a developer release in the near future and a full release in 2007. More on TechCrunch, including screenshots.

    Overall, good, probing interview - answered many concerns about the new technology. :-)

    Just a little bit on the marketing-hype side, would have appreciated more tech-programming perspectives. :-?

    Apollo is just runtime with cool features. You can actually use your existing skills (HTML/CSS/JS/AJAX/Flex/Flash etc) to write applications for Apollo.

    You would be able to use some Apollo APIs to make your apps much cooler.

    What kind of tech-programming perspectives you want want? May be I can write about it :)
