The business value of RIAs is very clear: aesthetics do matter and users would like a pleasant experience. This Power Panel seeks to take a deep dive via Rich-Web and User Experience use cases that delegates recognize and can reference in making their own business case for Rich Internet Applications within their company or organization. Examples will be taken from all over the world...and will inevitably include the iPhone.
