> That xkcd comic's idea would work if people would use web apps in preference to 'native' apps. For some apps, I do. Facebook got deleted from my phone when I found it was the consumer of 25% of my daily battery. I now consume Facebook via the browser. Twitter has gone the same route, because their mobile version is way faster than their app. Both live in my home screen, as shortcuts to the web version (i.e. I do use them). Google for Facebook battery drain, and you'll find out I'm far from alone.
