>Latest data I've seen is that 80-90% of mobile data minutes are in apps, not web. With mobile sessions now comprehensively exceeding desktop according to Google Analytics, it's an app world out there. This takes nothing away from your and Victor's successes with desktop or browser apps. Sheesh, what does it matter what the likes of us think? The world will do its own thing regardless.

That's certainly true, but when you factor in the influence of Facebook, Text, Email, Twitter, Amazon, etc it's not hard to understand those numbers.


The browser is a cost free, simple way of giving users mobile access to data and it its transforming businesses.
If the app is a better way and does things that we can't do in the browser, we'll figure that out.
So far, there are no compelling pulls in that direction - probably because of naiveté.
When we see the light, we'll move.

PS - this app is frequently access by desktop browsers.
