Seems like a lot of bloat for an app in a limited-Flash environment. There
are a -lot- of differences in presentation on a monitor as opposed to a PDA,
not the least of which are:
--Lack of right-button or easy double-click on the PDA
--PDAs (traditionally) are intended more for data viewing than data entry, and
as such present smaller, lightweight summary views
(Rest of list omitted, I suspect this is something we all understand. *grin*)
I could certainly see the app have a ./configure-time option to adapt itself
to its environment, but I have little enough flash as is; I'd rather not have
to carry a full desktop UI around with me.
(Note I said 'desktop UI', meaning the program interface, and not 'desktop UI
system' like X. Not slamming X. Really.)
