another approach to mobile use is having the small devices as sort-of
remote controls to the environment, where may e.g. be large displays with
richer visualisations (driven by more powerful computers).

of course standalone lite apps in small devices is important per se (for
Nokia), but, well, i'm working on this other approach :) and have done it
in collaboration with Nokia before (and it's done quite a lot elsewhere
too).

perhaps this is not part of the InBCT work, but an example of
collaboration with other groups (if we decide to use Fenfire for such
projects), if you want to mention something about it.

this comes close to the scenario i'm thinking from another angle.

interesting stuff, looking forward to the coming year :)
