I urge you to install this little app, it takes about as long as the Flash Player plugin to install and is a full Acrobat-esque app!)
I think this is a pretty good example of the direction in which Adobe is going in terms of desktop web-apps. I mentioned Apollo a little while back, an app they are developing for turning Flex 2+ applications into browser-free click-to-run desktop apps that can make use of all the latest web-based programming technologies, AJAX, Ruby-On-Rails etc without needing to be run within the confinds of a web browser such as IE or FireFox.
We have discussed this between us before, and feel this is definitely the direction the web is moving in general; away from the browser.
What are your thoughts, ideas and suggestions for applications of this style of app?
Cheers all and have a great week J
