Korean PC hardware online shop builds on OpenLaszlo
PCAnn started an open beta phase for the new PC hardware configuration tool implemented with OpenLaszlo. I've always wondered how long it would take to see the first OpenLaszlo application online in Korea, as the country's open source community is a lot smaller than the Japanese one. But Korea has one of the highest penetration rates for high speed internet connections, making it a perfect candidate for rich Internet applications. As more than 70% of the country's internet users are connected with a speed of 22mBit or more application download size doesn't matter in the Korean market.
The PCAnn OpenLaszlo application features drag&drop functionality for the wishlist the shopping cart as well as refined filtering functions for the various components on offer. We are excited to see OpenLaszlo adoption in Korea, adding another country to the already long list of countries with OpenLaszlo applications deployed. Congratulations to the PCAnn team!

Last month we heard the news about the start of an open beta of PCAnn.co.kr. Now we have more good news for everyone in Korea interested in the OpenLaszlo project and Laszlo Systems: I’ll be presenting OpenLaszlo at the Web Applications Conference on June 21st in Seoul, South Korea. There will be a one hour presentation of OpenLaszlo from 11:30am - 12:30pm as part of workshop 102 (Future of rich Internet applications). And I’ll be part of the panel discussion on the future of rich Internet applications from 2:30pm - 3:10pm. [...]
