Mozilla Prism:整合桌面软件和web app

Adobe有Air,而Mozilla推出了Prism。尽管表述有所不同,但二者其实做的是一件事情,也就是打破桌面软件(desktop app)和网络应用(web app)的界限,而现在的重点在于,把web app变成像桌面软件一样,让用户使用同一种服务却可以多一种选择。
现在的prism还很弱小,但是把gmail、twitter、meebo变成一个桌面软件还是能做到的。下面的图就是prism的操作界面,输入web app的网址,取个名字,选择是否保存地址栏和导航栏,选择建立快捷方式(shortcut)的位置,点击OK就完成了。

我用prism做了gmail和meebo,启动的速度要比进入网页再启动快的多。现在的prism还需要下载,未来应该也是可以基于web的。

Prism brings web apps to desktop

Mozzila labs launched Prism 2 days ago.It’s a software that can bring web apps to desktop,just like a desktop software.

For example,you can use prism to make meebo desktoped.After a few easily set up,it turns to be an icon on the desktop.Double click it,it launches in a unique browser,without the navigation or location bar(you can leave them all in browser too in the set-up),just like a software.

Using prism to launch web app is quite faster than the traditional way.
