(keitai-l) Re: i-MIMIC feature request opinions

This idea partitions naturally into two projects:

1. extending i-MIMIC to simulate more than
   one phone;

2. scriptable multi-browser load testing,
   independent of any simulator/emulator
   display environment.

Doing the load testing as a separate
tool makes sense to me, but so does
providing multiple-keitai i-MIMIC, for
developers of community sites with
near-real-time interaction.

Journaling user interaction to make
scripts for load testing is another
way in which these two features
could work together: you could use
the multiple-keitai i-MIMIC to
specify the *sequence* of user
operations between two phones,
to be replayed in the same order.
Good for developing test loads,
and also for regression testing.
