It's a very nice web page, and a cool idea for an app.

He's right: Java is sputtering. There is an advantage for desktop apps, however. When I pitch the product, I can load it right on the customer's desktop without a clearance from an IT person, assuming Java is installed. I don't know how to distribute a flash app as a desktop app.

How about AIR? Does that need IT approval?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I hadn't checked into AIR before this post. It looks like if approval has been given for flash (and it probably has), then it's a snap to deploy using AIR. Adobe charges for this, don't they?
