Well, Adobe Apollo will provide you the ability to run Flex applications from your desktop. As long as you have an internet connection, Apollo can references the same webservices as your Web Flex application has access to. Apollo also has access to your system's file system to make it easier to interact with your application instead of sending system requests over your network whenever you want to do a file upload.
So the trend for applications for the realm of Adobe products seems to be a hybrid one that would not make one or the other obsolete. Teddy On 11/30/06, John C.
