Some pretty good inshigt here, Ari. Did you see that link to that other handheld terminal? The GUI you see on that terminal is not from any application running on the terminal but from a group of otherwise unrelated applications running in various places on the net. The X terminal's GUI only provides to the user a perception that what all these apps on all these computers is managed by the GUI. The GUI itself can even generate its own applications and GUI extensions to provide access to integrated services (what used to be called software). It's the combination of the GUI as an access method to the otherwise unrelated software services and the mobile X terminal that is the magic. There's no QT, no GTK, no Java, no RDP, no Citrix, no VNC, no bitmaps.. There's just network transparent X.There is so much opportunity here and I'm trying to help you see a part of it that I doubt you can yet see because people typically don't understand applications, GUIs and software services in this new context very well, in spite of all the things that they do understand.
