Keep it simple stupid

This article asks the interesting question of weather the traditional web is dead and if we are moving to a more app based model? A model where we access online content via apps rather than the browser window.

The ipad will certainly increase the amount of content accessed via applications, I guess the next question is whether a standard application platform will appear for none mac devices, will this be an Adobe platform Flex or Air or HTML 5 and jquery. 

What ever the answer, and their is probably not just one, the key lessons to be learnt from the app model is that successful solutions  "distill their apps down to the very basics and focus on only the most essential features"

As they say: keep it simple stupid.
