Same for the Google Voice web app." I agree with the Gmail app being amazing but the Google Voice app is terrible in comparison... it's usable but it could be (and i'm sure will be) much better. “the Gmail web app for iPhone is nothing short of amazing.

The hardware will consistently change. You can end up limiting your desired user base. I'm pretty pleased with a lot of the mobile sites i've had to review for seego. there are some stinkers, but there are some stinker natives as well. At least i can browse away from a bad web app. I just don't get how so many developers can end up being so short sighted. Is the disconnect just "trending"? Perhaps some sort of associated prestige for having a native app instead of a web app? We've seen more and more connectivity over the last few years with the web with more access. Do people truly believe that at some point they won't be using the web more, and not less? sorry, rattling on. Good read, thanks.
