Outright shared apps sounds like a terrible experience. I can definitely understand the argument from a developer perspective wrt shared code bases between platforms, i don't know if the user part of me is excited, though.
Maybe it'll also keep people from using other frameworks and lock them in on Apple platforms more.
- Clubber 9y agoLike everything, it greatly depends on the execution rather than the concept.
- falcolas 9y agoThe concept was tried with Windows 8; they had to go back to offering both desktop and touchscreen options. Based on my experiences using an iPad, iPhone, and a variety of mac laptops, I don't see how this could be practically different. Touch interfaces take up too much space on lap/desktops, and desktop interfaces are inconvenient to the point of not working with touch.
