Everyone knows that Apollo is just an interim name for Adobe’s upcoming platform for desktop RIAs. Today Ted Patrick concluded his week of posts revealing features of Flex 3 with a post on “Apollo”. Aside from the liberal use of quotes, he also blurred out what we can assume is the official name that the product will ship with in the screenshots he provided. Below you will find a magnified portion of one of the images that seems to clearly show the name beginning with an A, and being very short. The final letter also has what looks an awful lot like the descender of a capital R. I suppose AIR would make a pretty suitable name since the application files the platform generates are .air files, and of course its RIA backwards. What do you think?
