Joyent Slingshot is another competitor fighting Adobe Apollo on the on/offline webapp-market. Slingshot promises to deploy Ruby-on-Rails apps & data synchronisation to Windows & Mac-desktops by april 2007. considering Rails’ popularity among web2.0-folks, this might be worth checking out (although it’s not really clear under which kind of license Singshot will operate).
