Interesting... Web services... I wonder if that makes it possible to
export the web service off the phone
To a program running somewhere else... Or if its limited to some local
channel.
And, anyway.. That only means you would have to wrap it in another,
fully exportable, web service for such integration.

Also, Apple's announcement today about iPhone development using AJAX
and exposing internal phone functions as web services to the iPhone's
safari browser is tipping everything in the same direction.

Yeah... we're thinking that we were going to totally separate the
model and domain processing from the view/controller part of the
application. That way we could have a couple different HTML
interfaces as well as a SVG/ECMAScript interface. I'm not terribly
familiar with XAML or XUL, but I understand that most (if not all) of
the Firefox / Mozilla / Navigator interface was written in XUL.
This is one of the benefits to this approach, IMHO. Separating the
interface allows us to experiment with a number of different
interface technologies. And the only thing the experimenters need to
know is the semantics and syntax of the XML interface.

If we are heading in the direction of web interfaces, I think we
should look at XAML or XUL or something similar. From what I can
tell, they will be adding silverlight support to mono, so using
XAML will be possible. This also separates the code for
functionality from the interface and can allow skinning of the
entire application interface set.
This will abstract you from every widget set. Each action could be
exported and called from the UI without needing to worry about all
that.
At least, that's my take on it currently.

Here's a little look-and-feel example that could be done with an
opensource AJAX framework [javascript required]:

This may allow easier separation between apps and GUIs. Of course, as
usual we have no idea how well such an app would perform (little &
gratuitous prediction: very bad), benchmarking is needed but ... who
knows ?
This is going along with the ongoings gdk webkit port and gsmd
XmlHttpRequest interface (was topic: embedded webserver).
What do you think ? Is it REALLY unrealistic ? Could anybody try the
url on it's Nokia N770 (lots of happy owners here, right?) and rough
feedback the responsiveness ?
