Apollo has been launched
Adobe representative, Phillip Miller, recently guested Copenhagen, and during his visit he gave further insights into the upcoming client, Apollo.
When first introduced at MAX 2005, Kevin Lynch talked about Apollo being a browser substitute for offline browsing of HTML and Flash. Since the merger with Adobe, Acrobat Reader has of course been introduced into this project. Philip Millers recent talk about this stated, that it would be available for all platforms (Win, Mac and *nix), and that a beta was to come within the next year.
All in all, Apollo sounds like a promising technology, but it also sounds like, that no-one needs to worry about it for some years to come. I wonder what it will do to Central?
