I was browsing TechCrunch and found a link to the
Scrybe site where there is a YouTube video showing the application.
I watched it and thought OMFG.
I wish I could write slick interfaces like that. Never mind the online/offline technology, I just want the UI!

OMG, that looks so awesome. The smooth animations, the intuitive UI, even the online/offline technology. Thanks for the link!

Apparently it's all done in Flash, no Ajax or Javascript.
I find it interesting that the most advanced looking on-line app uses a technology that has been around for a while ...

Much better off with Adobe Flex - a friend introduced it to me recently, I grabbed the OSX beta (rather than the Windows version) and I am smitten. Totally*. Talks to anything on the backend (Java, Ruby, .Net, PHP) for simple scenarios, and with the use of WebOrb (OSS) can use Remoting to talk to other languages.
* As in, more smitten with technology than I have been in years - it is beautiful and *very* straightforward. Smitten as in I am considering using it a lot (once I can buy the final OSX release).

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
Don't want to sound too cynical, because it looks awesome - but I've seen awesome tech demos before.
I'm waiting for the actual product on this one.

Well, they always said the internet had a site for every perversion...
We had those at my old work, one of my bosses got impaled on them because the traffic light which told you to go through was broken.
Of course, (back on topic) if that's what Flex can do, what can WPF/E do? -
I was really excited about the product when I saw it on lifehacker a few weeks ago. It looks really neat. Personally, I'd rather just use the PDA/Cellphone I have on me at all times to do my scheduling.

Taking us slightly off-topic again, does anyone know what platforms Microsoft expects WPF/E to run on? Does WPF/E support non-Microsoft video formats?

I smell a video brewing. Welease Wowy! (Don't know why I went all "Life of Brian" there... Never mind. -
Well-done Flash is a pleasure to behold.

Flash 9 can do some pretty sweet stuff... and with it being cross platform now, I am seriously considering it to the DOM/AJAX mess I have to work up.

They announced at MIX that Windows and Mac would be supported directly by Microsoft and they're working with others to get it working on Linux, but it won't be supported by MS directly. That was a while ago.
Not sure what all video formats are supported. If you think about it though, it's really just what video types can be imported/converted to work with it (like Flash).
