What is the webtop mania?
Consider the following sequence of words:
desktop
laptop
palmtop
...
What is the next element of the sequence?
This little riddle stumbled upon my subconscient about three years ago as I was striving to finish my course by making good use of available services and technologies throughout the web. I had just recently acquired a laptop (wifi ready!) and I was enjoying the euphoria of lap-mobility, using it in airplanes, in trains, at work and at home (I was using a lot the train back then). I was using ftp and remote shells to develop and save some of my work, although in a rudimentar fashion compared to the high end OS graphical environment at the time (I had windows XP). However my little knowledge and experience gave me but a frustrating experience.
