Both approaches are runtime dependent - Apollo apps require the Apollo runtime and Mozilla apps require the Mozilla runtime (<a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/NSPR" rel="nofollow">NSPR</a>). The Mozilla runtime can be installed today on all major OS, and some devices. Hi Cahlan,
While developing for multiple browsers is certainly a pain, this is not an issue addressed by either Apollo or the Mozilla application platform. Both approaches are runtime dependent – Apollo apps require the Apollo runtime and Mozilla apps require the Mozilla runtime (NSPR). The Mozilla runtime can be installed today on all major OS, and some devices.

I think Apollo will have some huge appeal because of this single feature. How many of us are sick and tired of customizing everything we create for different browsers/platforms? Not only that, but the Apollo team has also dropped hints at some eventual cross-device functionality. Here’s one huge difference: cross-platform delivery.

Then you could have access to the file system via external interface commands. Or you could have a flex swf running in customized version of firefox (or perhaps just on top of the xulrunner).

I love songbird, especially the "collect media files from websites" feature. The lack of a good IDE for XUL editing is indeed a pity (if there is one please let me know). Nice post and good points.
