Just a quick note, but we have created an easy to remember URL for finding information on Apollo.

http://www.adobe.com/go/apollo

This will always point to the latest information on Apollo.

Below are some screen shots of the Ascension mp3 Apollo application that I (and Jeremy Clark) have been working on (and which we showed at Max).

This is a Flex / HTML based application that runs on top of Apollo. I plan on releasing this as an open source project (and actively manage it, once Apollo is up on labs).

I am going to try and post next week to show some of the Apollo specific code / apis being used in the app.

Lots of posts today. Here is a Flickr link showing a bunch of images tagged with max and apollo. You can images of a bunch of apps, including the eBay and myspace apps, and the PictureThis app I am working on (There is also a shot of one of the Apollo t-shirts that some people scored at the conf).

You can view the images here.

If you are interested in Apollo or want to find out what all of the buzz is about, make sure to check out the free online presentation on Apollo that I am doing next week.

Here are the details:

Understanding Apollo
Thursday, November 2, 2006
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM US/Eastern

I will be giving an overview of Apollo, demonstrate how to build a simple application, and show off some of the new stuff we sneaked at Max (including HTML support).

We launched a new project on labs the other day called Digital Editions. What is Digital Editions? From the site:

Adobe Digital Editions is a completely new way to read and manage eBooks and other digital publications. Digital Editions is built from the ground up as a lightweight, rich Internet application (RIA). Digital Editions works online and offline, and supports both PDF and XHTML-based content.

Basically, this is (currently) a Windows only executable that integrates Flash and PDF to create a rich application for reading eBooks. Really cool stuff.

Another quick fyi, but I just uploaded some Apollo Desktop Wallpapers that I created. You can grab them from the Apollo Wiki on Labs.

These are the original PNGs with layers so you can edit them. I have also uploaded some vector art if you want to make your own wallpapers. (if you do, post them in the comments, maybe we will have another contest).

You can download the wallpapers from here.

Just a quick fyi, but I updated the Apollo FAQ on the labs wiki with new information about the HTML engine within Apollo.

You can view the FAQ here.

Wow! Tons of info on Apollo today (keynote, 3 sessions, birds of a feather, Maxup). The team has been blown away by how excited people have been about Apollo here (they had to turn people away from some of the Apollo sessions because they were so packed).

Anyways, I will have more posts soon going over all of the new information, but in the mean time, make sure to check out the Apollo Smart category at MXNA. It has tons of posts on Apollo, and notes from today’s sessions.

Ryan Stewart sat down with Kevin Lynch a couple of weeks ago, and got a first hand tour of an early build of Apollo. Ryan’s has written up some of his impressions, and has posted some new screenshots and information on Apollo.
