Yes. It happened about ten years ago.
- tyingq 10y agoAh, yes. Guess I should have said iphone / android native apps, especially ones that depend on network data such that the native app wouldn't be any faster than a web site. I don't get the appeal, for example, of native apps for things like airlines, amazon, ebay, etc.
