The advantage of using a browser engine is much better portability of the UI code.

Also, many developers feel that web technologies provide for easier and faster UI development than at least some of native toolkits. -- Alexey Feldgendler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ICQ: 115226275] http://feldgendler.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
