Awesome! While it is still a long way away this is a first step in getting HTML5 to be a real alternative as a full replacement to native apps for mobile phones. Obviously optimizations might need to be made for HTML5 to be comparable in s

I could imagine with slightly more financial account integration how they could arrange to at years end have a simple process for Small businesses to have tax reports generated and other important information. It's certainly a nontrivial t

Wouldn't a website like secondmarket.com allow you to unload stock before a liquidity event? That assumes that someone would want to buy the stock from you.

It'd also be nice if you could also pull iTunes data straight from a iOs or android device. I don't believe the APIs exist to do that via a web app, but it'd be nice.
