Java Client

Using a state of the art Java client and application server adSails is now more robust than a web application and has comparable compatibility and ease of deployment. adSails can now be deployed on any platform, including Macintosh OSX and Linux. The adSails client is rich, thin, and smart: rich in the sense that it draws forms and executes methods, unlike a web browser, which simply renders HTML; thin in the sense that it is very lightweight, about two megabytes, though not quite as lightweight as a web browser; and by smart we mean that it carries some of the processing weight, so it feels like .NET without saddling the end-user with unnecessary baggage. Over the next two quarters, adBlocks will launch a web client that will feature forms designed specifically to give access to adSails over handheld devices, such as Palm, Blackberry, and smart phones.
