Apollo Browser

The new HTMLControl for the Apollo runtime is very impressive.  It will have full support of html based on the WebKit.org standard originally introduced by Apple and also used for the Safari browser.

Adobe has alos committed to support the pdf and swf plugins for the control.

The HTMLControl will be fully extendible just like any other ActionScript class.  Also, because it is an ActionScript control you will have full control over the properties of the control.  There was a demo shown where an html page was loaded into the control from an http address and then the control was blurred, rotated, and scaled while still remaining fully functional.  Very cool.

You can sign up to be added to the public beta when it is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/apollo

Update:  Marco has posted some pics of the demo I referred to earlier.  Check them out here.
