From: Trevor Perry
It seems to me that the "rich client" model is VERY successful
in the real world.

All the examples you cited (RealPlayer, Flash, iTunes, Notes) are successful. But they deal with static media, mostly. Even Notes databases tend to contain documents and indexes to documents, which are fairly static, and modified by one user at a time. But it makes me wonder about iPhone applications? Are they browser based? Or do they run inside a plug-in like Flash?

Nathan.
