I can see why this is a cool idea, but think about the following:

How many people (that can not use the Web Admin), will use this program? (offline? on expensive dial-up connection?)

If it's intended to give people a choice, isn't the web admin Windows compatible?

It's like creating a 2nd user interface (=2x support/maintanance), just because it's cool. Will anyone create a WAP version of the admin? or a Voice Interface?

I know it's very cool, so I'm sorry if I cooled you off...

All the best
