This is difficult, because many of the features are not known yet, or are just rumour * Offline / occasionally connected / on/off line notification This means we can offer an 'offline' version of many web based apps * Runs already known codebase with little/no mods (AS3/Flex) Nothing to learn * Native access to database without server calls Even a super-SharedObject would be funky, but people keep mumberling about how AS3 socket support is so good you could write a JDBC driver in it... * Doesn't run in a web browser / (can) Look(s) like a native app Some people are allergic to the web. We could push Apollo out on to their desktops and they'd never know it was Flex * Automatic update checks for user apps. Because otherwise we'll have to do it, and it'll be a pain, even with push desktop tools like Zen. * Local file read/write, local file execution Unlimited interaction with anything else we might have installed. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to evangelistically incubate essential environments **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
