And a flash interface would figure out state changes through what means? Clairvoyance? Every interface needs to go back to the server for state information. That's the nature of a client/server architecture. And when you say an AJAX interface "will still look like an afterthought", are you speaking from experience? That is, have you tried the Nokia770 skin? IMO, the player control page looks and feels exactly like a flash app. I don't have any trouble with someone (not slim) building a flash app. It sure seems to me that it would be doable given the API to both the webserver and slim's CLI. I'm going to back off this thread, as it's quickly digressing into the typical religious wars. #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
