Hi Keine. I'm not sure if I'm going to bother giving examples as I'm sure you can find those yourself with http://www.google.com. I will however give you benefits of using SVG.
1. It's vectors as opposed to Raster. Often times I have found that the SVG version of an image is much smaller (file size wise) yets provide more detail. 2. It's open source. See http://www.w3.org/2004/pp/ 3. It's scriptable with DOM and ECMAScript. As for applications, I have worked on many SVG projects including: 1. MathML to SVG converter to visualize math equations in SVG. 2. Web based document annotation application. 3. SVG based GUI framework. 4. Microsoft Visio. 5. Many others that I'm unable to talk about including my current project. These projects cover a wide gambit of possible SVG applications from web based apps to full on applications. As for browser support, this is the same as with any other application. Can you guarantee that someone has a flash pluggin? If not can they install it? What about full DHTML support? These are common concerns for *most* web based applications. SVG support is getting better especially with the Opera and Mozilla browsers as well as the Adobe SVG pluggin. Not to mention all the support for tiny devices. Unfortunately you will probably have to convince yourself that SVG is a good choice. It really does depend on exactly WHAT you are trying to accomplish.
