Apollo: when online and offline become inline by Jonas

Adobe has created some buzz for the last months with the development site for its Apollo project. And by what we hear by Kevin Lynch in the recent Talkcrunch episode, its going to be S-W-E-E-T! A lot of companies have tried to create a seamless integration, or at least an integration between the web and the desktop. Last week Socialtext released their contribution for their wiki app, which at a glance, seemed to take one compensation after another. But we’re still happy to see the efforts being made.

With the new Apollo platform it seems that the integration is going to reach a whole new level based on established formats such as: Flash, pdf and HTML, so easy to learn and easy to adapt to for developers. Michael Arrington seems quite hooked on the thought that this will be a great platform to build email and calendar applications on, and it probably will be. But there’s so much more opportunities that reach beyond the Office suite apps. But I hope, as Kevin Lynch says, to be surprised by developers taking this tool and making the new generation of web apps.

Note: please do not include Steve Gillmor in any more podcasts. He had his show and cancelled it. Now he’s only on the show as a clown and its kind of sad.

    Good post, and I agree with the Gilmour bit. Recovering from that Gilmour Gang fiasco is going to be pretty tough.
