And the combination of that OS (Android) with Google Apps Premier (for those
businesses that have gone that route) is absolutely wonderful.

ways, whether it be for a 5250, browser or fat-client application. I'm not
saying anything a lot of people on this list don't already know (and
better than myself), but maybe it will provide a starting point.

In the end you summed it up right on the money. We all have had
different experiences with successes and failures of the various
technologies. For those that DO plan on testing the waters with
non-IBMi technologies, then the best insurance policy is to build for
the "just in case it doesn't work out" scenarios, and that is building
modular and building for change in the landscape.

I would put money on Google coming out with their own UI technology in
the next couple years that will put the others to shame (i.e.
Silverlight, Flex/Flash, JavaFX, etc). Google has the advantage of
watching on the side lines the current fiascos going on and the
advantage of a ginormous check book to write checks with when the time
is right. Look how short of a time it took them to become a contender
in the mobile phone OS market? Two, maybe three years?
