Biggest problem with the web-browser approach is the problem of push. 
There is no practical way to force the browser screen to update in 
real time driven from the server side. Take the caller-id scenario, 
for example - you want to know the *second* a call comes in who it's 
from. This can't be done using a plain-vanilla browser in a user 
friendly and responsive way.

It can be done using a Java applet, but if you're jumping to that 
level of complexity, you'd be better served by a dedicated device 
IMHO.
