Loren,
You missed my comment about one size fits all. A app written for a mobile device will take advantage of options not available to a web interface. It is far better to use a app written for the platform. For the web platform HTML5 may be a good choice. The Web Transceiver talks to the ASL network via IAX.

Steve I still like the idea that we are at least talking about fixing the Web Transceiver if i knew a little more about it maybe we could figure out how to make the web transceiver work in html mostly instead of java.. If this can be done this will mean its comparable via any mobile web browser out on the market today.. All the user would have to do is login to the website etc.. So exactly how does the web transceiver talk to the allstarlink network??? What exactly is going on in the back end of things??

As I said, The Web Transceiver code is being looked at to evaluate if and how it can be moved forward. A one size fits all solution will not adequately work on all platforms. Support for mobile devices is a must. As of right now for access to specific nodes the choices are Zopier and Android IAXRPT. Zopier runs on IOS and Android. Android IAXRPT of course runs on Android and is tailored to AllStarLink nodes. The Web Transceiver is more general.______________________________

Yes, kids were the target audience of the Raspberry Pi, but look at what Hams have done with it, in its various forms. AllStar nodes, whether DIAL or the distribution Doug helped develop. Multi-mode Digital Voice nodes using various interface devices like the MMDVM or DVAP/DV-RPTR/DVMEGA. Echolink/IRLP nodes. If we really want to get the attention of teens and twenty-somethings, and keep it, we need to adapt our tactics to the way they live; how often do you see one without a smartphone somewhere on their person? Create an app (or two, as iOS should be covered too) that supports the features of the current Web Transceiver and you'll have a tool that everyone can use and still have the browser free for other things.

Most of us on this list won't have use for it. Anyone who's come so far as to building their own node and subscribing to this list has likely exceeded what that web transceiver could do for them.
Consider however that there is a different market, a different audience for a web transceiver. I know that I'm not the only one who got involved in this through exploration with the web transceiver.
So I think there is benefit in having such a simple tool. It can be, if it works well and is designed properly, a great tool for someone to take that first step in finding out what all this is about.
Consider the target audience of the Raspberry Pi. Getting kids into programming and using these devices to do things, control things and such. Ham radio needs to attract, and keep, the attention of that same audience. App_rpt and Allstarlink are great for that. But this audience doesn't come to us with anything more than a very basic, novice background at first. A web transceiver seems like a handy tool for those new young hams to explore.
There's my long winded $0.02

If you must have the web transceiver there are ways around the problem
