CNet's summary:
Adobe is working on Apollo software that can run Flash applications
outside the browser, so they behave like desktop programs. The player
will render Flash, HTML and PDF content.

Apollo is part of Adobe's efforts to build its network of third-party
developers and fend off incursions from Microsoft and other design
rivals.

See the URL for the full story.

Our Flash player already works outside the browser -- though it doesn't
integrate HTML and PDF.  (What's the point, really?  If you want HTML,
isn't that what a browser is for?)
