The new kid on the block and an impressive entry into the ‘micro application’ market. Free dev kit and cross platform are the buzz words here. Also, seemingly open source.
What’s the problem?
1) The memory footprint is an issue. I agree that a poorly written app is a poorly written app. However, even the memory footprints for basic HTML applications raise an eyebrow.
2) The ability to print is lacking [read: non-existent], and there is no browser integration.
The solution?
Only adobe can solve the memory issue. The ability to print and browser integration could be handled by the community.
