Adobe has just added the public alpha for Apollo over at Adobe Labs. I’ve talked about how cool Apollo is before (read the article and make sure you watch the videos), and now developers anywhere can actually start using it.

Adobe has released the SDK so you can start integrating the Apollo technology into your applications (guess where we’ll be doing some tests), the Apollo runtime and extensions for Flex Builder, if that’s what you use to develop your Flex applications. All these files (and documentation) are up for download.

Even though I’ve said this before, it isn’t bad to stress how important this technology is for the fusion between what are now “Desktop applications” and “Web applications”. Some argue we’re going to see the web mitigate the notion of a desktop computer - and this is pretty much one giant leap in that direction.
