Adobe’s new Apollo Platform is now being released in the beta version (the previous Apollo release was a developer preview). It is now being called Adobe Integrated Runtime. Calling in short as ‘Adobe AIR‘ .

Adobe® AIR™, formerly code-named Apollo, is a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to use their existing web development skills to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.

The new version fully supports HTML and Ajax, meaning Apollo applications can be created without using any Flash at all. They are also releasing an extension to Dreamweaver web development software.

Adobe is also now saying that AIR will be officially launched by end of this year. Our previous coverage of Adobe AIR is here.
