I'm personally not convinced that all our apps are going to be in the cloud in even the next 3-5 years and I certainly think iFlapp brings something of value, particularly if they go down the "install once, run on all your systems" route.

The issue I see - as the author of this article pointed out - is that this is ideal for travelers without a laptop or netbook. 2 - maybe 3 - years ago, this would've meant a huge audience. But the seriously low priced netbooks MIGHT mean that this technology becomes redundant to all but the budget travelers (which is still a sizeable audience).<br><br>Unless they can reposition the technology (hint hint) so that what the technology really does is it enables apps like Office to be installed on ONE computer and then also used on the customer's netbook and / or other notebook/s. That's a HUGE amount in savings, and takes advantage of the burgeoning netbook market rather than being disadvantaged by it. :-)<br><br>Just my 2 cents...<br><br>- Varun.

Just my 2 cents…
