Thats what he said. And the reason makes perfect sense. Apollo's stated mission is about taking the flash graphics engine (as it is) and pdf, and html/javascript and allowing these web technologies to make desktop available applications. If they were going to provide hardware accelerated graphics, it would make most sense to do it in the flash player itself. For example, to do hardware accelerated graphics outside the flash player, they would have to make an entirely new API that would be completely separate from the flash API. Given that the flash API *is* the adobe graphics engine at this point, making a new, separate, incompatible one, essentially forking the graphics API, would make no sense. If they need to do 3D, they need to do it in the context of flash, not as some new API.
