Thank you for the warm review.
We are working on the next version of Bubbles and some additional surprises, aiming at releasing them before April.

@swaroop: Bubbles was released to the public on late 2005 and was the first Site-Specific-Browser ever to be released, and hence the application that defined this new area. Applications like Prism and Fluid, which are great applications in their own, were released in late 2007.

Its the same thing. It gives us a different application like the one you wrote about.. If you want a Gmail window to be kept open all the time. Just create a prism short cut for that. It opens Gmails.. And its like a regular desktop application. From the inside.. It uses Firefox browser code !

It must be using some browser related code underneath.

Mozilla Prism was there all this time – http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/
