I have been working with Apollo non-stop since Mike Chambers got me an internal build about 2 weeks ago. Apollo just rocks. Even at this early stage, it is by far the easiest way to create real desktop applications. I will be presenting my TagTV application at The Future of Web Apps Summit in San Francisco tomorrow.

And where can the rest of us drooling flex developers download that interal build ;)
I look forward to more demos
No worries, everyone will get their Free version of Apollo in due time! :)
You can build Apollo applications today using Flex. Actually, you can deploy any Flex with zero code changes. There are no code differences other than swapping the Panel (Web) with the Apollo(AppWindow) component and adding an application.xml file.
I was really suprized how easy it was to make.
Cheers,
Ted :)
Oh and source code is available for TagTV!! Just right-click, "View Source"
Ted :)
Cool.
Out of curiosity, are you using any of the Apollo APIs in the install swf?
Thanks,
A.
Very nice. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that free version of Apollo!
Apollo has file with extension *.air
this is commprssion file include *.swf *.ico *.xml files.
How does Apollo work with file *.htm ? Has Apollo render html document rely on current browser?
Micha?
Michal,
Apollo has its own internal modern compatible browser. It has no dependencies with other browser, read not IE.
In a SWF application, you can embed a browser control within Flex/Flash Content on the DisplayList.
Also the browser is codebase identical across every platform Apollo will support. If you are authoring in AJAX, you get seamless platform compatibility by deploying the the Apollo runtime.
The key is that Apollo lets you reach these platforms with a single codebase. It is productive because you deploy once, use many!
Cheers,
Ted :)
You are a liar Ted, i don't believe this is Apollo - nice trickery with Photoshop.
The only way you can proove you aren't lying is to email me a copy. I'm sure I still have NDA in place with Adobe, so i won't tell.. promise.... ;)
Oh Scott calling me a liar on my own blog won't get you early access.
Cheers,
Ted :)
