Latency is an issue. If I've got hundreds of email messages to check then I'd rather do it with a native desktop application. However, for casual use, a web application is easily the most convenient and portable solution.
- chaostheory 19y agoboth Comet and Flash address that issue...
- xirium 19y agoI can see the benefit of Comet in this case but I don't see the benefit of Flash. Please could you explain.
- chaostheory 19y agoI thought like Comet, Flash can send data asynchronously. the client doesn't have to continually poll the server. Am I wrong?
- tyler 19y agoYep. Thats correct. Although, at the last point I looked into it, there were some firewall-related problems with using Flash for that purpose. I don't remember the details though...
