And if you give us a couple of years, I'm sure more and more Americans will agree. The younger market is already clamoring to get there--and when you look in the European markets and see devices that focus solely on gaming, etc. that are all accessible through the phones, you'll see a glimpse of the wave of change that's coming. Hell, look at the Floogle app (Flash Google SMS) and see for yourself how that overlay can really help people extend basic functionality as it exists in other apps... But hey, I'm just saying (and I work for a phone manufacturer in Interaction Design, to give a little more of my own background). Back to the forms, however... Once they do start to appear or they become more integrated with someone's needs or they get recognized as a way to take a Flash app and integrate it with ColdFusion Forms <gasp> as a quicker way to develop and deal with data, maybe we'll see some more action. It's been said: Hell, the tool's only been out for a week. Give it some breathing time.

Plus, it's an outside app, so everyone's a bit nervous and wants to test and understand impact and implications.
