Scott McClure gives a nice overview of what a Mini-app is and why it could be useful. These are little apps which aren't overly complicated and do one thing really well.
I'm in a fantasy football league and right now, we don't have 'real-time' stats on Sunday's. I'd love a little app which could grab the latest stats by parsing Yahoo or ESPN's game page and then display them in a nice way. Sure this would only be used one or two days a week but it definitely would be useful.
I think I might look into it and possibly use Flying Saucer as the front-end.
