Providing a browser can handle the Java, XML, CSS etc. used in the
page, the interface can be used on *any* platform. this means no
compiling, cross compiling etc. instant support.

Also there is no need to install or setup the software on any device
you want to use the interface on. Just open a browser and use it. great
for when you want to access it from a remote location. 

If you had a compiled app for the major platforms (Windows, OSX, *nix -
ther are multiple windows managers you would have to handle there too)
it soo becomes a support nightmare. Especially for a small company like
SlimDevices that have a comitment to cross platform support and
compatability.
