36. Conclusions
Ideal for fast graphical RIAs.
Late involvement in RIA development by Sun.
Maybe too late.
Flash dominates the market.
Wait for JavaFX 2.0
New Features
Only need to write the code once(New scripting language)
Most features realizable with HTML5
Better compatibility especially for mobile Devices (e.g iPhone,
iPad, Windows Phone 7)
HTML5 canvas element slower.
