Things I want to see in Adobe Apollo
Lots of talk going on Apollo. I have kept quite because I had not seen Apollo except in MAX-2005 but today I saw screenshots on Ryan's blog. And I commented on his blog, I would like to see following things in Apollo:-- Cross platform and works on Mobile devices
- Plugin architecture (That allows to execute natives DLLs with better platform detection APIs. A SDK would help)
- Light weight (takes less memory and core-binary size is very smaller)
- Better APIs for synchronization between offline/online apps (Nice wrappers around SharedObject, LocalConnection etc)
- Access to OS level API with strong security sandbox
- (X)HTML/CSS2/JavaScript support that comply with W3C and ECMA standards. This would allow you to deploy hybrid apps offline.
- Backward compablity so that I can port existing (Flex 1.5, Flash Player 7/8) applications for Apollo.
- Database connectors with ActionScript API, that would allow applications to connect DB directly without using middle layer.

I'm with you on the database connectors. That would be the BEST thing ever, but a blow to MDM's Zinc.

It is nice to see comments over Apollo from you. Do you know way to enroll for beta testing of Apollo?
I believe you are still working on Flex. Any updates on new things you worked over in Flex 2.0?
