Sumo Paint

I'd say Adobe would be crapping their pants over something like this, but they've been working on an online version of Photoshop for a while now already. I guess what Sumo Paint does show is that the idea of an online paint application is already realised and here right now. Heck, it's got all the basic functionality down pat and you can even save your work too (onto your hd or their space).

With the popularity of netbooks and optimisations being made on browsers for web applications, we're edging closer and closer to cloud computing.

here is another group doing a whole suite of graphics programs.

I haven't looked into Avairy or Sumo in any real detail yet. I'm sort of in two minds about the flash graphics application concept on the whole, it seems like you are just downloading the app each time you run it (why not download it and save it). But it's free and you can potentially access them from any internet connected computer which I think is pretty cool/ potentially useful.

I'm also quite demanding with application functionality so I'm probably not the audience these things are primarily made for, hence my lack of enthusiasm.
