  Most users don't need a standalone Flash movie player, but this is a 
big deal for embedded systems folks. Many companies don't want to, or 
can't run a full blown X11 environment on their hardware, but they still 
want a GUI. So more than a few companies are using, or plan to in the 
near future, a standalone flash player as their GUI platform to deliver 
content.

  At the same time, since the plugin and the standalone player use the 
same code, (the plugin is more like a new backend device) both 
platforms, standalone or web browsing should work equally as well.
