I do just this already, actually.
I use a combination of web-based applications, a ssh client, a collection of portable apps on a usb drive (including firefox from portableapps.com) and an iPod. It all works completely seamlessly without the need for a "Desktop Environment" in the browser.
I'm still at a loss as to what bringing a Desktop Environment to the web brings you. I understand the need for web apps, not the Desktop Environment.
(Also, can't you easily setup this for yourself and run existing desktop apps using VLC? Rather than just using half-baked apps that the WebOS devs have created?
- e1ven 17y agoI often do use Remote Desktop or NoMachines, but most users aren't going to do that. If you could make setting up Remote Desktop/NX sessions trivial, you'd obliterate the use-case for web-desktops entirely.
- sjs382 17y agobut most users aren't going to do that Most users also don't require a persistent desktop between multiple locations. This discussion naturally leads itself to a unique set of users. :)
