I think we should divide what aree web-apps and what is more
'browser-apps'. For a while I have make the so called web-applications on
my local desktop.
Usually because most linux instalations include a web-server, database,
scripting language and finally a browser. I can run all the so called
'web-applications' off-line.
You can do the same in windows using packages like XAMPP.
I consider web-applications, programs that need to run online regardless
if you are seen it from a browser or from a gui. This applications can be
an Internet Messenger, P2P apps like Naptster, FTP clients and so forth.
This are apps that depend majorly from being on-line.
I want to make that definition because maybe we are talking about a
different thing. Your point on connectivity is made me think that not
because the app resides on a browser it means is on-line.
