I’ve heard rumblings that Michael Arrington is a big fan of Apollo, but Hans pointed me to an article today by Dan Farber, one of my fellow ZDNet bloggers which summarized some of Mike’s thoughts on the winners and losers in the web world. The final quote of the paragraph is where it gets good:
Mike also talked up Adobe’s Apollo platform, claiming that new classes of companies will be launched on this new platform, which will let applications written for Adobe’s Flash presentation software run without a Web browser. Apollo is due out next year as a free download.
When Michael Arrington speaks, companies listen, and as we get closer to an Apollo launch, I’m sure the talk will get louder. This is a great thing for both Apollo and Flex. In fact, it’s a good thing for anyone involved with Rich Internet Applications.
Update: I just found some audio of Mike talking about Apollo. It’s the fourth clip on this page.
