Not speaking for Sun here (especially as I'm no expert on Sun Ray), but one of the perceived limitations with current Sun Ray technology is perhaps that it's tied to desktop-class devices... if you could somehow log into a Sun Ray session from your phone or your Nokia tablet as well as a Sun Ray DTU, who knows how much more appealing it might become. Edge services work well for a lot of things, but sometimes they're not quite enough. On the whole online-desktop thing generally, here's a crazy thought-- IMHO, a desktop that's well-integrated with online storage and services should (ironically?) make the concept of a web browser pretty much redundant. That said, I'm still relatively underwhelmed by the prospect of such a desktop until I can be reliably online everywhere I go, and the internet is as fast as a hard drive... neither of which is likely to happen anytime soon, I suspect :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GNOME Desktop Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
