Why do people think that AJAX apps are necessarly remote ?

They can be local and drive internal components (such as a gsmd for
contacts/calling/messaging), do people really think that you'd have to
connect the Internet to write kitchen receipes ?

Maps-enabled apps, yes: Google Maps is way more clever than having to
carry around a continental map. As is Wikipedia access, etc... But
simple apps will be local, and won't necessarly suck !

It's just the make up that changes (ok, this does'nt count for games,
but we're talking GUI toolkit here).

Cheers,
