Stay tuned for Apollo. I'm literally at MAX sitting in the Advanced Apollo Development session, and, in it's simplest form, Apollo lets us as Flex 2 developers create cross-platform desktop applications using Flex (and HTML/CSS/JS). It comes complete with local filesystem read/write capabilities, along with handy, still cross-platform pointers like the user directory, desktop and (this) program directory.
 
They gave us a peek at some Apollo apps being built right now, one was for MySpace, an IM client for their users. The other was EBay Desktop, which looked like it had all the functionality of the website built into a desktop app. It even had a neat little feature that had the app connect to the webcam, take "pictures" of the item to be sold, and automatically uploading everything. It was literally working with EBay, check out the auction (for charity, btw):

You can use a product like Zinc (http://www.multidmedia.com/) to
convert your app into an .exe (or the equivalent on OS X) to access a
database.
