Of course, we have made the most out of what charting features are already available in Flex. The availability of rich charting functionality played a major part in choosing that technology in the first place. As you will see, we have built new functionality and extended existing charting functionality - to make it easy for everyone to create and publish charts. Thanks again.

Then you can make really popular charts IMHO. Colors are important too. Also what would be great is if it could be embedded also in MS Word, because that is still the major doc format in the business world. Oh yes, if I have a rather large Excel (for example: 50 entries) can iCharts still work with it (for example in a plot or so). How about animations in between the charts - I have heard Adobe Flash can do that. Great job you guys!

I guess they could still sell the hosting service, but Swivel has been trying to do this for the last year or so, and it's a hard sell. On the other hand, I think history has shown that you can take something, repackage it, and sell it with a few superficial changes, and get the public to buy, so they may yet be a success.

All the folks at iCharts seem to have done is to write an extremely thin front-end to the already existing Charting components. In some of their examples it seems they didn't even bother to change the default colors. If I understand it correctly, an experienced Flex developer could fully reproduce their technology in well under a month. This really nullifies Mark Cuban's suggestion that iCharts should sell their charting technology to other companies rather than marketing it as a consumer solution, since the Charting components are already a part of Flex, feature-rich, and easy to use.
