Basically, it gives you faster access to your website without all the extra hassles, for example, my FFx starts a bit slow because of the heaps of add-ons i installed. Using prism would allow me to go to a certain flash game site fast and without the delay. Still, i would like prism to have the ability to save a website's application and work offline, like Google Gears. Too bad Google Gears doesnt support a lot of useful sites. @SuAlfons: you can prevent a certain cloud application from dying alongside the browser when the browser hangs.

What is the general advantage of Prism after all? I open an application to view a website instead of the browser? I even have to push the Home button as a work around? Now that's an improvement over dragging a weblink to your desktop. I guess the sense of the programs lies in making web apps offline accessible. But here is my experience on this with Google Gears: I did use Gears for making my Googlemail-Account (web interface) a false "default mail program", but alas, it did not integrate like a real program (you know, opening when klicking on "send mail" in another app and so on). Can I achieve a real program-like behavior with prism? Really curious about your opinion! SuAlfons Hello Geeks!
