I finally found a little bit of time to try out Adobe Apollo. My first attempt was mearly just to get one Apollo application up and running, so I decided to do something simple. PhotoCam takes your webcam stream, allows you to take a ’snapshot’ and save it off to the hard drive as a JPG. You can download the source or try the application out. Besure to have the Adobe Apollo Runtime pre-installed.

I must say, I really do like Apollo. I used the Flex Builder Extensions to author with, and it was just so easy to code and get working. I was expecting a few problems, being an Alpha product, but everything just worked! And if you’re a Flex developer, than you’re in luck; apart from the Apollo specific libraries, you’re basically coding a Flex Application!
