For some time now I've been talking/evangelizing about the convergence of browser-based and rich applications. Recently I wrote about the W3C WICD Mobile 1.0, which if adopted by mobile platforms such as Java ME will be the culmination of this convergence.
Dr. Paddy Byers has written a great follow up titled WICD mobile: MashLite?, where he provides a good and clear explanation of WICD Mobile and some of its benefits.
