It's not so much the question of "power" of an App. The issue is: if you
want to run something in a web browser you need a web server.
With the Squeezeboxes, that's not a problem, they are always being
controlled through a server anyway.

But on ickStream there is no central server that needs to be always on
and that the player is always connected to so it's much more difficult
to do a web controller.

We do want to eventually have this and have some ideas about how it can
be done, but for now Apps are simply the more simple solution :)

BTW: we do NOT plan to limit this to iOS or Android. In fact we'll have
an openly published API so everyone can write a controller for any
platform. We just started with iOS because that was the easiest thing
for us to implement.
