Adobe launched its next-generation application development platform - Apollo. Apollo will enable building and delivery of Rich Internet Applications(RIA) that will combine the advantage of web+desktop at one platform. Currently both the SDK and runtime versions of Apollo are being released.

Hype around the application product development platform aside, being able to bring in the developers to build apps and than the users to consume those apps will be the long path that Adobe has to work on. There are few smart product being developed or extended to work on Apollo that includes Yourminis’s widgets based home page service, and Virtub’s collaboration tool. Still a long way to catch up Java and AJAX apps.
