> iOS, however, takes a different tack, focusing on self-contained, bite-sized apps. You hop into something, use it, then leave. Right, if you think of the user workflow as a graph, the iOS enforces a kind of star topology on the experience. That's the model it's built on. You start from the homescreen, then jump to an app, then back to the home screen, repeat. Android is more of a web browser stack model, you jump into an app, that app may launch another app, but you can always hit back and slide one step back, if you hit "back" enough, you end up where you start (or you can shortcut it with the home key). The user workflow graph is more random as people bump around between apps. It would probably be more appropriate to call Android apps "pages" instead.
