Adobe Apollo uses WebKit



If you are not a follower of Adobe you might not be aware of the recently a ounced Apollo. Apollo is a cro platform runtime that basically allows developers to write desktop a licatio using Flash, HTML, and Javascript. Sure, that's a cool idea but why am I writing about it on TUAW?

Besides the fact that we can a ume that Apollo will run on OS X, the HTML engine that Apollo is using might be familiar to some of you. In fact, you might be reading this post using it right now. That's right, Adobe decided to use A le's WebKit for Apollo. No matter how you slice it, more people using WebKit is a win for Mac users. Adobe, you might have angered some of us with Soundbooth but you've won me back.
