#5. ‘Can be built’ is different from ‘out-of-the-box’. If you write a new application on Dekoh, say a game, in one click you can share it with your buddies. This is different from every application writing code to do that.
-
Web 2.0 features like sharing, tagging, commenting; Share from desktop, applications or content with personal friend network: Dekoh Yes, Apollo No. Mmm… Ok, I don’t understand this. Tagging, sharing, commenting? Aren’t those feautres that could be built in any platform? Again is this out-of-the-box support for these?
-
#4. Yes, Dekoh can connect to any database including SQL server and MySQL using appropriate JDBC driver. JDBC drivers are available for most databases. This is unlike writing your own driver — which is required in Apollo.
Dekoh Desktop also bundles a database (Apache Derby), which can be used by applications to store data and metadata.
-
Bundled Database: Dekoh yes, Apollo No. Other Databse support: Dekoh though JDBC, Apollo No. Now, can Dekoh connect to SQL o MySQL? By reading this I would say yes. Can Apollo? It could.
-
#3. Yes, developers can and will write lot of widgets. However some widgets like the tag cloud (link) can be reused across applications. >
The widgets they can be used outside of Dekoh runtime. Such as an enterprise application that is being built for similar runtime. Widgets mostly
require Javascript, CSS, AJAX and, in some cases, Java. Dekoh will provide the code to developers, so that they can custom enhance it to suit their needs, as opposed to a published widgets/gadgets where they are meant for use as is. -

-
Reusable Widgets: Dekoh Yes, Apollo No. What are these widgets Dekoh mentions? Prebuild out-of-the-box widgets? Isn’t it a platform? Can’t developers make some for the Apollo platform? What does “reusable” exactly mean to Dekoh? Can I use them on Netvibes?
-
#2. Apollo is based on webkit engine, so it can render HTML, Flash. But applications do not run on the web browsers directly like Safari, Firefox and IE. Apollo is not a browser.
-
Broswer supported: Apollo None. I don’t really think so, is not that they don’t support any web browser, they just use a diferent webkit. What does this exactly mean? Beats me. What I do know is that this webkit has been used in Safari and KHTML. So “none” seems a bit innacurate to me.
-
#1. What it means is there is ATOM-based RSS reader bundled in the platform. Application and content shares can be subscribed by your buddies to see them on your desktop. Certainly, you can build a RSS reader on any platform. It is just that in Dekoh it comes bundled default.
Dekoh Desktop comes with a RSS widget that consumes RSS feeds and can be configured to display the feeds in the browsers inside any app you build on Dekoh. For example, you can have a “What’s New’ page on your personal Photo
application that gives you a news update when a friend comments on your collection.Dekoh Desktop also has a easy-to-use feed generation API that feeds out on ATOM RSS formats. The API works is tested and works across all versions and variations of ATOM and RSS.
-
RSS Support: Dekoh Yes, Apollo No. What does this mean? What kinda of RSS support will Dekoh have? For what I know you can easily build a RSS reader, or even a routine to parse XML (RSS feeds).
