Heck, you just run them (probably in a VM) on some box "out there
somewhere" with screen-scraping code to translate UI elements to/from a web
format, then you simply throw more hardware at the problem until it's
slightly less useful than the original product but hey it's all "webby" and
therefore the iphone generation will absolutely love it...

Sigh... remember the good old days when the web didn't exist and the 'net
was all about getting things done quickly and efficiently?

Of course. I should point out that nobody actually
USES it. This is your
idea of a supporting argument for "everything shall be a web app"?
Not at all. I'm only pointing out that most things already are, and perhaps
it's not quite as technically awful as you make out. :)
I guess it wouldn't be, if it...well, weren't. Perhaps I have higher
expectations, and I know what to use to have them met.
