I think it is that simple integration that makes or breaks the product. Because Google controls the OS, it allows for a more seamless experience: you wouldn't download an app just to scan and connect to Wi-Fi networks, but because it's a feature built into your phone you are much more likely to use it.
- majewsky 9y agoAnecdotal evidence suggests otherwise. Plenty of visitors download a Barcode Scanner app to log onto my home WiFi because they don't like to punch in a 30-letter code by hand.

One of the things that annoys me the most about modern smartphones is that every single feature has a separated, isolated app for it (usually each from a different vendor), and none of those apps properly integrate with one another. The more they can integrate at OS level, the better for the user experience (though I'm not having high hopes - Google has a long history of dumbing down applications to the point of making them barely useful for anything).
