Adobe is part of a growing group of vendors, including Google Inc., that has announced plans to take RIAs back to the desktop. They were originally aimed at infusing the rich, interactive features of a desktop application to the Web. - -"This is the first major public release of the AIR runtime," said Mike Downey, Adobe's group manager for evangelism of platform technologies. "This one is very close to having all the features enabled in it. We've focused on a variety of feature areas and very heavily on improvements to the HTML engine." - -In addition, this release will be major for AJAX developers, he said, noting that the alpha code released in March "was fairly incomplete if you were doing a purely AJAX implementation." Developers building AIR applications now can use any AJAX framework, he added. - -Additional new features in the Adobe Air beta include an embedded SQLite open-source local database, support for PDF and deeper integration with Flex, Adobe said. Users will be able to view and interact with PDF documents within Adobe Air applications similar to how they interact with a PDF in the browser, the company added. - -Meanwhile, eBay Inc. is scheduled to unveil today an Adobe AIR application project called San Dimas, which can deliver notifications and updates in real time to eBay users' desktops without them having to open a browser. - -A final version of AIR is slated to ship before the end of the year. - -Adobe also announced the beta release of its Adobe Flex 3 software, its free open-source tool for building RIAs. The beta versions of the Flex Builder 3 and the Flex 3 SDK will be available for download today. - - - -Adobe has just unveiled the official name of its much talked about Adobe Apollo product: Adobe Integrated Runtime, or Adobe AIR for short. Adobe is also announcing a beta version of the runtime, which will include Ajax and HTML support. This means developers can create an Apollo application entirely based on HTML, without using Flash at all. - -For those who may not know, Adobe Apollo was the code name for the cross-operating runtime developed by Adobe that allows developers to create Rich Internet Applications for the desktop. There's a myriad of possible use cases for this technology, from productivity applications that work both online and offline, to music players such as Finetune that can be accessed via the desktop. - -Adobe AIR is expected to be released at the end of the year, and will include a beta version of this runtime along with Ajax and HTML support. Previously, you could only build an Apollo application using Flash, but Adobe is now making it more appealing to a wider range of HTML developers - who may not use Adobe Flash. So included in this announcement is an extension that allows Apollo apps to be created directly from Dreamweaver, and PDF support to leverage the PDF platform in Apollo applications. The release also includes a SQLite database, just like Google Gears, so developers can go between the two easily. - -Adobe is attempting to streamline the process of building Apollo applications, in the hope it increases adoption rates. The challenge in introducing a web development platform is making it simple enough for developers to test drive, yet valuable enough for the end user. Adobe competitor Dekoh (see our profile here), is using an open-source model and community to increase adoption. In many ways, the Adobe strategy is similar to that of Facebook, which recently opened up the Facebook platform. Most web teams can easily develop a Facebook app in a weekend, as it is simple for the development team to create apps for that platform. In turn, the Facebook team hopes that it's valuable enough to the end user, which then encourages more application building and innovation from developers at other websites. - -Although not exactly identical situations, Adobe is making it easier for all the developers out there to play around with the platform - and opening it up to HTML developers seems like a smart move. Backed by a $100 million venture fund and tons of corporate investment, Adobe needs to also do a better job of showcasing successful implementations of Apollo; and convince end users why they need to have online and offline support. That is probably the major goal behind the Adobe Bus Tour, also announced today, in which Adobe is traveling to 18 cities to perform demos and spread the word on the platform.

I know the TextMate developers have said they plan to drop support for 10.4 in the next version to take advantage of CA (well the text rendering portion anyway, any plans for your software? - -**Austin Sarner:** Overall I do think that developers will be embracing Core Animation over time. Like you said, deciding to do so will make your application Leopard only, so I see it being something that will happen after the bulk of the shareware audience migrates. As for me, there isn't any specific feature in any of my apps that could rely on Core Animation for a drastic upgrade. However, once a bulk of my user base has migrated I will consider enhancing existing animations and other graphics with it. - -**WN:** Is core animation more than just eyecandy? In other words does it provide a way to improve the user experience, whether through better UIs or speed boosts etc? - -**AS:** Core Animation is definitely more than eye candy. Animation in general creates continuity and more direct feedback to a user experience. For instance, when you select an item in the AppleTV, your selection glides into place as opposed to immediately snapping to the next item. Midway through the split second animation, you can neatly cancel out and go in the other direction. In addition to obvious graphical speed boosts, the elegance it can add to a UI is pretty substantial in my opinion. - -**WN:** From the demo video available on the Apple site it would seem that the new tools enable an almost windowless environment, is that true? - -**AS:** While I can't really comment on the actual inner workings of the framework, it seems that with Front Row and Time Machine Apple has opened up to the idea of completely modal experiences when used correctly. - -**WN:** Do you think Apple plans to move away from windows as a metaphor for the workspace? - -**AS:** Definitely not. I think that in some cases a windowless environment makes sense -- when changing the content of all windows on screen (Time Machine) or browsing through a media library from a distance (Front Row), for instance. - -**WN:** And as an extension of the last question, with Apple moving into more devices which run largely windowless UIs (i.e. Apple TV, iPhone) is the windowed application a thing of the past? - -**AS:** I think that windows still have a place in the desktop environment, while more focused devices like those require modal user experiences. - -**WN:** Jobs talked briefly last night at D about the various iPhone UI limitations: no mouse, no pull-down menus and so forth. While those are constraints in the case of the iPhone do you think Apple might be looking to turn them into strengths on the desktop platform? - -**AS:** Again, I do think that the reason a minimal UI like that works on a device like the iPhone is because of the device itself. It's relatively small and when you open it up you generally will want to either make a call, check your email, or do another very specific task. The desktop environment, on the other hand, is entirely about multi tasking. - -**WN:** Is there a new UI paradigm on the horizon and if so what do you think it would look like? - -**AS:** I wouldn't be surprised to see an evolution in consumer software that stresses a more real world style for applications. Garageband, for instance, is a great example of an app that takes the standard interface to the next level by creating a more innovative experience through the UI. - -[1]: http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/06/core_anim?currentPage=all "Kiss Boring Interfaces Goodbye With Apple's New Animated OS" -[2]: http://www.madebysofa.com/ "MadeBySofa" -[3]: http://www.discoapp.com/ "Disco" -[4]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/mac_app_designe.html "Mac App Designers On Leopard: Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster" -[5]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/mac_app_designe_1.html "Mac App Designers On Leopard: Cabel Sasser Of Panic Software"

We had originally planned to make DL2 10.4-based, and worked for a year and a half on that version, but in August of '06 we learned more about Leopard and where it is going, and we simply couldn't say no any longer. We realized any app we released based on Tiger was going to look really pathetic when Leopard came out. - -**WN**Is core animation more than just eye candy? In other words does it provide a way to improve the user experience, whether through better UIs or speed boosts etc? - -**WS:** Absolutely... every time you give developers a chance to do better graphics with less code, you're going to see another revolution in user experience. The revolution coming with Core Animation is akin to the one that came from the original Mac in 1984 -- the Mac said "here's a relatively easy way to add graphics to your user interface" and Core Animation says, "Here's a very easy way to add composited layers and motion to your interface." - -**WN:** The Core animation changes are quite significant and open up some interface possibilities that would have previously been a lot of work... Time Machine for instance has a pretty amazing interface which, from what I understand, is made possible by the new Core animation tools. - -**WS:**I can't speculate on how Time Machine was written, but it's true that we're going to see a whole new world of user interface metaphors with Core Animation. For me, the original Cocoa was about making it really easy to me to construct an interface with sliders and textfields and buttons -- standard widgets. So we saw a whole generation of applications (for NeXTstep, and then later for Mac OS X) that had pretty decent interfaces, because they all used the same widgets and the widgets were pretty and functional. - -What we'll see with Core Animation is a move away from widgets and into direct manipulation. In Delicious Library 2, we're conveying much more information directly on our bookshelf view, instead of using textfields and the like, and similarly we're allowing the user to interact more directly with the books on the shelf, instead of just looking at them and then pressing buttons on another part of a screen to change them. - -Sure, we'll see some pure "eyecandy" applications that kind of abuse Core Animation, but we'll also see more of what are coming to be called the "Delicious Generation" of applications (not a term I coined!), where the entire application is designed from the start to be beautiful and fun while solving whatever problem it solves. - -**WN:** From the demo video available on the Apple site it would seem that the new tools enable an almost windowless environment, is that true? - -**WS:** One thing to remember about Core Animation, or any 'enabling' technology, is that any developer could do all the same effects herself, given enough time and motivation. It's not that Core Animation taps into some magic graphics processor that we didn't know about before, it just makes it extremely easy to use the existing graphics processor in the most efficient way. Which means we get to spend more time making cool interfaces because we are spending less time trying to get, like, anything to draw at all. - -**WN:** Do you think Apple plans to move away from windows as a metaphor for the workspace? - -I am very, very hesitant to speculate on future directions, because people often assume developers have some secret "red phone" where Steve calls us and says, "Hey, Wil, we're going to dump windows as a metaphor in two years, you down with that? Oh, also, did you get those iPhones I sent you?" - -In truth, we wait for the same announcements as everyone else... and I have to wait for my damn iPhone. Which, believe me, is cruelty itself. - -**WN:** As an extension of the last question, with Apple moving into more devices which run largely windowless UIs (i.e. Apple TV, iPhone) is the windowed application a thing of the past? - -I personally think that full-screen applications are becoming more important (especially for Apple) as we see more special-purpose devices -- the Apple TV is supposed to a neat way to watch your shows, the iPhone is too damn small to support windows -- but there will always be a need for windowed applications. Humans are inherently multi-tasking creatures. - -I'm old enough to remember a lot of the early experiments with graphical user interfaces, before the world standardized on the Macintosh model. It's funny to remember all the varieties of metaphors that were attempted back then (e.g. the Andrew Window System from CMU had a "tiled" interface, where windows never could overlap, but instead automatically resized themselves to perfectly fill the screen, and Microsoft Windows used to have windows inside of windows for applications), but I think they all died out for good reasons. - -**WN:** Jobs talked briefly last night at D (The recent All Things Digital conference) about the various iPhone UI limitations: no mouse, no pull-down menus and so forth. While those are constraints in the case of the iPhone do you think Apple might be looking to turn them into strengths on the desktop platform? - -**WS:** Fundamentally it hurts my arms to hold them up to the screen, and I have enough trouble keeping my screen clean as it is, so I don't think I really want a touch-screen computer. I haven't seen the iPhone up-close, but I absolutely think some of the creative solutions Apple has come up with in terms of directly manipulating items on the screen (instead of using widgets) are going to carry over and inspire the Delicious Generation of applications. - -**WN:** Is there a new UI paradigm on the horizon and if so what do you think it would look like? - -**WS:** I think the paradigm is direct manipulation -- just grab your document and "throw" it upwards to get it to scroll, for example, instead of fumbling about for the scroller. - -**WN:** Do you think users are ready to abandon the dominant metaphor of desktop UIs? - -**WS:** I don't think we'll abandon the old way as much as supplement our armory with a whole new arsenal of tools. It's an awesome time to be a Mac developer, and, by extension, a Mac user. - -[2]: http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/06/core_anim?currentPage=all "Kiss Boring Interfaces Goodbye With Apple's New Animated OS" -[1]: http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/06/leopard_preview?currentPage=all "Apple to Show Off Leopard's Claws at WWDC" -[3]: http://www.delicious-monster.com/ "Delicious Library" -[4]: http://www.panic.com/ "Panic Software" -[5]: http://www.madebysofa.com/ "MadeBySofa"

I know the TextMate developers have said they plan to drop support for 10.4 in the next version to take advantage of CA (well the text rendering portion anyway) any plans for Panic? - -**Cabel Sasser:** I've no doubt that developers will embrace Core Animation -- providing a fast, Apple-maintained way to do the kind of animations we now rely on heavily is a brilliant, and well-welcome idea. - -Ironically, before Core Animation existed, we had created our own set of animation routines, many of which are eerily similar to the work Apple did in Core Animation! Great minds, etc.! So in our case, we'll probably branch to allow our software to be 10.4 compatible -- if you're running 10.5, you'll get the Core Animation version of our transitions, and if you use 10.4, you'll get our custom version. The Core Animation version will probably be much better and smoother. - -**WN:** Is core animation more than just eye candy? In other words does it provide a way to improve the user experience, whether through better UIs or speed boosts etc? - -**CS:** There are innumerable little animations that the user probably never even thinks of -- things like preference pane transitions, or simple sliding panels -- that will all be easier, and possibly better, with Core Animation. - -**WN:** From the demo video available on the Apple site it would seem that the new tools enable an almost windowless environment, is that true? Do you think Apple plans to move away from windows as a metaphor for the workspace? And as an extension of those ideas, with Apple moving into more devices which run largely windowless UIs (i.e. Apple TV, iPhone) is the windowed application a thing of the past? - -**CS:** These are tough questions to answer. I really don't think that the desktop will ever become "windowless" -- windows present a very familiar and natural way to work and multitask, and to radically change it might just mean desktop suicide. You don't multitask on an Apple TV, and you probably don't do a ton of multitasking on an iPhone, but on a desktop you simply need to be able to do many things at once, and for that, you need windows. - -That said, I suspect we'll know more very soon. Sorry I don't have too much conjecture here. - -**WN:** Jobs talked briefly last night at D about the various iPhone UI limitations: no mouse, no pull-down menus and so forth. While those are constraints in the case of the iPhone do you think Apple might be looking to turn them into strengths on the desktop platform? - -**CS:** I personally doubt it. A hand-held phone is a vastly different user experience than a mouse and a keyboard. I really applaud Apple's tenacity to sit down and say "You know what? This is a phone, and it needs to work differently", instead of trying to shoehorn a desktop UI into a mobile form factor. That's why every phone in the world sucks, and why I couldn't be more excited about the iPhone. I have faith that Apple will give each platform the best possible experience -- tailored to that platform. - -**WN:** Is there a new UI paradigm on the horizen and if so what do you think it would look like? - -**CS:** I've joked about having a fixed "sidebar" in future versions of Mac OS X, since virtually every application now has its own little blue landing strip on the left side of the window -- think of the window space you can regain! -- but once I started to actually think about it, I realized that it's an awful idea. ;) - -[2]: http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/06/core_anim?currentPage=all "Kiss Boring Interfaces Goodbye With Apple's New Animated OS" -[3]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/mac_app_designe.html "Mac App Designers On Leopard: Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster" -[4]: http://www.panic.com/ "Panic Software" -[5]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/04/coda_release_no.html "Coda: An All-In-One Web Developer Tool"

But the Firefox team has a number of additional UI tweaks up their sleeve and some of them look quite slick. - -Alex Faaborg who's one of the interface designers for Firefox 3 recently posted an overview and some screenshots of what the changes might look like (screenshots after the jump). - -None of these are guaranteed to end up in Firefox 3, they're merely a glimpse of what *might* end up in the final version. Also, Faaborg cautions that the screenshots below may not be what the final versions actually look like, but they do provide a rough sketch of possible implementations. - -The features Faaborg outlines include: - ->* Places bookmark management system which includes support for: - * Web Page Tagging - * Smart Folders - * Saved searches - - -* Content Handling. Firefox currently has different dialog boxes for dealing with content depending on if it has a MIME type, is a protocol, is being delivered through RSS, or is an application being downloaded. The user will have a consistent UI for selecting the actions they would like associated with content, regardless of if the content is a file being download or is a microformat embedded in a Web page. - - -* Microformat Detection. - -* Changes to the Location Bar. We are considering removing the favicon from the location bar, and changing the location bar so that everything except "Public Suffix + 2" is greyed out. This will prevent malicious sites from placing visual cues in the location bar (like using a lock as a favicon), and the change in text color will help users identify the web site domain. - -* Private Browsing. Put Firefox into a temporary state where no information about the user's browsing session is stored locally - -The two standout features in my opinion are the tagging capabilities in the bookmark manager and the microformats detection, but there's also a few nice little features that will smooth over certain aspects of the interface. - -One of the things I really like in the screenshots below is the bookmark feedback window hanging off the URL bar, particularly the ability to delete the bookmark without opening the manager. Because CRTL-D (default keystroke for a new bookmark) is right next to CRTL-S and I'm a bit clumsy with the keyboard I frequently end up bookmarking things I meant to save. - -It's not an earth shattering feature, but it's a great example of well-thought-out interface design (provided it actually works the way I'm assuming from the screenshot). - -Another subtle, but potentially very useful feature is the highlighted primary site in the URL bar. So long as the whole URL bar is still easily selectable, the proposed feature would make it easier to actually see what site you're on. - -Other proposed features that thus far don't have UI mockups include: - ->* Offline Web applications -* Improvements to the password manager -* A graphical keyboard-based UI similar to Quicksilver and Enso for searching the Web, bookmarking and tagging pages, navigating recent history, and switching between tabs. Note: this feature isn't in the Firefox 3 PRD, and it will probably be released as an experimental extension through Mozilla Labs before it gets considered for inclusion into Firefox.

To that end, Xandros will join Microsoft and other companies that are building open source translators fostering interoperability between documents stored in Open XML and Open Document Format. Xandros will ship the translators in upcoming releases of its Xandros Desktop offering. -• - -Intellectual property assurance. Through the agreement, Microsoft will make available patent covenants for Xandros customers.

The companies are committing to a set of sales and marketing efforts to promote the output of their technical efforts. As part of this effort, Microsoft will now endorse Xandros Server and Desktop as a preferred Linux distribution due to Xandros’ efforts to establish rich interoperability and deliver IP assurance to its customers.
