What about the hardware and systems to distribute the load of hundreds or thousands of requests to servers that can only handle a dozen at a time? Are we *quite* sure that the heat generated would be "almost" none? My smart phone occasionally gets blazingly hot, as has every cell phone I've ever owned. You need to *measure* the heat, and power consumption, and cost of replacing batteries and other such costs, to be sure that you are getting the best server bang for the buck. I see lots of ways your assertions could be completely wrong. -- Lew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
