- marmalade 15y agoWell to be fair, it was/is extremely popular with IT staff for easy integration with their MS stacks and managing devices. If someone came up with this like that for Android; that would be a killer app.
- there 15y agoVery popular with business folk using them for enterprise apps, not consumers wanting to buy fart apps and games.
