However I've used Laszlo in the past and for significantly sized application it is unmanagable to maintain. Pandora looks great.

I went to visit Pandora due to your link and reference to their RIA front-end. Thought I'd check out the tech and stayed for the essence of Pandora: the music and the way it serendipitously slides in analogous tunes. Did a post since I was so enamored: http://borsch.typepad.com/ctd/2005/09/pandora_your_pe.html By the way, tons 'o people are referencing Scoble's 'recommendation' that this should be a thick client. I'm listening to Pandora while typing this at work on my Thinkpad. Last night I was typing my blog post in front of my Powermac with Cinema Display and great speaker system. Later last night was on my Linux powered laptop. The constant theme/interface? Firefox. My challenge to anyone pitching thick clients is this question: when was the last time you headed over to Fry's, MicroCenter or CompUSA to browse the shrink-wrapped software aisles? The answer almost always is a humma, humma and a reluctant acknowledgment that "NOT FOR A LONG TIME" is their answer. You are *so* plugged in.
