Impressive video - Apollo in action

This video is amazing! Mike Chambers and Christian Cantrell demo a few apps written in Apollo. Apollo for those of you who're new to it, it's going to be the bridge between desktop and internet applications; it allows running native Flash and HTML in your desktop, interactive with all native components.. and it works with PCs and Macs.

The demos show for example a chromeless Window running Google maps (html), with a left menu Flash overlay that scans your system for vCards, then if you drag and drop them into Google maps, Flex will analyze the vCard and use the API to tell Google maps to display the address of the contact, shows a photo... it's pretty impressive.

Those were some very impressive demos. But I was most impressed his monitor setup.

I use dual monitors, but unfortunately the cables are not long enough to stack the second monitor above and behind my laptop.

PS. And yes, I'm too cheap to buy longer cables.
