For development and further research into the idea I looked into web apps, this included interfaces, advantages and disadvantages. In computing, a web application or web app is a client server software application in which the client or user interface runs in a web browser. Common web applications include webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis and instant messaging systems.
Interfaces
Through Java, JavaScript, DHTML, Flash, Silverlight and other technologies, application specific methods such as drawing on the screen, playing audio, and access to the keyboard and mouse are all possible. Many services have worked to combine all of these into a more familiar interface that adopts the appearance of an operating system. General purpose techniques such as drag and drop are also supported by these technologies. Web developers often use client side scripting to add functionality, especially to create an interactive experience that does not require page reloading. From this research I learnt that anything achievable on an ordinary app is achievable on web apps, this could allow games and the inclusion of features of Iphones and Android.

- Open source software
- Standards and maintenance
- Internet connectivity
- Cross browser compatibility

Disadvantages
- Security
- Speed
- External dependancy ( Internet reliance)
