I hate the idea of installing a million apps for every little service out there. If you ask me, building a simple mobile website which caters to the most common things people will want to do with your site. I think Google calendar is a good example, and both Commonwealth Bank and Bendigo Bank in Australia have done good mobile sites.
Frankly the trend towards device specific appllication support is a massive PITA. It's like we only just got over the problems of people having to choose which web browsers to support and we are approaching some semblance of standars when Apple and the iPhail come along and ruin it all over again. now everything is apps apps apps and device vendors (especially Apple) are actively taking steps to prevent people from using solutions that make cross platform deployment easier.
Boycott the apps and return to reason!!!
- fleitz 16y agoIf it's a PITA to you, let someone else deal with it and reap the benefits. It's not up to you to determine what is best for users. If users are willing to pay for device specific apps then let the market cater to them. It's your company, you don't need to cater to 'iPhail' users if you don't want to. Let them and their revenue go somewhere else.
