I met Roy Satterthwaite, CEO Bling Software when I spoke at the O Reilly Web 2.0 expo,
Increasingly, the space of ‘Javascript running on top of Java APIs’ is becoming quite crowded with Sun itself getting into the ring with Java FX. However, Bling is unique because it’s client can be distributed over the air!
I have yet to see another company making that claim and it could be disruptive because it solves the client distribution problem and widens the scope of the target audience. I would be interested to hear any views about this approach(or anyone else who claims similar)
From their web site
