lol.....yeah, there are literally thousands of free and commercial
games that apple users have no access to....talk about a WALLED
garden..i thought u guys liked freedom?  and do you know what i run on
my cell? i can ftp to our servers and edit files, log in remotely to
desktop and servers and view the screen, have acces to twitter mobile
apps, tv apps. ebay automated apps, google apps, etc, almost all free
to download.

meanwhile, the poor saps with iphone are basically walled in and can't
even store app info in their iphone forsafekeeping and privacy.

Nope, my wife regularly plays web games and it's about 50-50
applets:flash

as to ajx, i suggest taking a look at some enterprise clients cause
they are mostly either applets or dotnet C#...ajax is a hype started
by google (which is java on the backend mostly so they're ok with me)
that has yet to actually make any real impact on enterprise clients.
it'sx not powerful or robust enough. as i said just compare google
maps to something /ike google earth. or googles stupid web office apps
to real ones like sun's open office or microsoft office.
