Review of Goowy, a Flash and Ajax desktop suite

One of the applications that is really taking advantage of this power is Goowy, which started out as an e-mail client but has since expanded into a full fledged virtual desktop suite. Goowy combines the rich interactivity of Flash along with some of the best parts of AJAX to create a great user experience.
Viewing HTML email is one place where the Flash/AJAX interaction provides a big boost. The spell checker, the draft view and the rich text editing are done quickly and nicely with AJAX. The mail tree, auto complete features and all the navigation is pure Flash. The interaction is slick and the result is awesome.
Despite all of these great features, Goowy isn't sitting back just waiting for users to sign up. They're aggressively moving into competitors territory in order to create a one stop shop for anything you need. They're in the process of opening up a premium account for users who need more space and some additional features. They've also partnered with Box.net to provide online storage in the near future as well as jumping into the instant messenger space.
