Thanks for the link Andrew. That's great news! Now I have a good reason to use the Flex-AJAX bridge.

This is a great initiative between Google and Adobe to ensure that the same (or similar) API's will be available in Apollo. Kevin Lynch provides the following quote - referenced from the Google Gears Press Release -

"We're very excited to be collaborating with Google to move the industry forward to a standard cross-platform, cross-browser local storage capability," said Kevin Lynch, senior vice president and chief software architect at Adobe. "The Gears API will also be available in Apollo, which enables web applications to run on the desktop, providing developers with consistent offline and local database solutions."

I'm not complaining, but I wonder why Adobe's supporting this? Doesn't it compete with their Apollo software almost directly?
