Why do people think that AJAX apps are necessarly remote ?
They can be local and drive internal components (such as a gsmd for
contacts/calling/messaging), do people really think that you'd have to
connect the Internet to write kitchen receipes ?
Maps-enabled apps, yes: Google Maps is way more clever than having to
carry around a continental map. As is Wikipedia access, etc... But
simple apps will be local, and won't necessarly suck !
It's just the make up that changes (ok, this does'nt count for games,
but we're talking GUI toolkit here).
I've yet to see an AJAX app that you can load entirely locally, so the
criticism still applies. Besides, the point of nearly all AJAX apps is
as a frontend for some server-connected service or another - maps,
mail, sticky notes, whatever.
