What do you consider as a specialty business? There are hundreds of millions of professionals - scientists, engineers, accountants, animators, content creators, visual artists, chip design folks, folks writing drivers for equipment, photographers, musicians, manufacturing folks, etc who simply cannot earn a living without native apps. Sure, maybe when those people go home, they don't always need native apps, but IMHO its a mistake to only think about them in such a narrow scope.
- smileysteve 6y agoYou name several that are speciality businesses and are part of that 10%. But there are definitely examples within Accountants, Animators, and Musicians where Phones, Tablets, and Chromebooks (not specialty desktop apps) have taken over the essential day to days. For animators; the Ipad VS. Surface face off is a great example -- also where they offload concepts to "the cloud" to render instead of a Mac Pro.
- ksk 6y agoWell, I am not talking about examples, I'm talking about entire industries. For e.g., There is absolutely no way for my industry (vaccine r&d) to any work without native apps. Even for animators, no native apps = no pixar. Maybe you were thinking of some other kinds of animation. I don't disagree that you can find small examples here and there of people not needing native apps in any industry.
