I tend to agree with Greg; Delivering apps via plugins is going to be an uphill battle as HTML5/CSS3/Javascript combo will dominate that in a few years. I also think that there is still a need for non-browser apps, but what to call that concept is possibly hard. Inventing a new term, probably doesn't serve Pivot well though... Too small compared to Adobe's marketing machinery. A better approach; Best Selling Applications, a.k.a. BS Apps ;-) Keywords, in no particular order; - Java Powered - Strong Connectivity support - Modern & Slick - To create consumer friendly applications Cheers -- Niclas Hedhman, Software Developer http://www.qi4j.org - New Energy for Java I live here; http://tinyurl.com/3xugrbk I work here; http://tinyurl.com/24svnvk I relax here; http://tinyurl.com/2cgsug
