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.

Is now over. I came home late last night by train after having attended FlashVision 2006. My presentation went very well – I think. Later a video of the entire conference/award show will be posted on the website. I hope to have a segment of it (the part featuring me) posted here. Also, both my collegue, Morten Reinholdt, and the hosts took a lot of pictures – some of which I will post here as well.

For my upcoming speak at FlashVision, I’ve made a little demo of a multiuser whiteboard application entitled Biteboard, which can be demoed here.
Source code will be available late saturday, when I’m fully settled back in mainland Denmark and final corrections and documentation have been completed. It will of course adhere to the given license.
The server is made by my good friend Mads Jørgensen (at swag.dk), and it will as well be published under some some rights reserved Creative Commons license.
