I'm a mobile app developer, i develop apps on a computer, not on the smartphone itself, nor does any developer i know. I tried an Android setup a couple years back, the overall experience was negative.
A phone cannot replace a computer until that happens. (at least for people like me)
- Double_a_92 8y agoFor me personally the limiting factor is the keyboard. If it's a PITA to write something, I'm not encouraged to write productive things on a smartphone.
- WorldMaker 8y agoI've got a foldable Bluetooth keyboard and my phone supports Miracast, and for brief moments at a time I can pretend I have a weirdly small laptop. It's a "present"/"past-future" that Microsoft envisioned years back that we have all the technical solutions, just not all the practical solutions. Android is too fragmented to sell such a vision wholesale across the platform, and Apple too disinterested, too invested/stuck in keeping devices to specific niches (because it sells more devices).
