Now someone has to find a way to root a Kindle Fire and load it with Firefox, Skype and a touch-capable Ubuntu (we don’t want Android with its stinking Google tentacles everywhere). I don’t even know if this app-stuff is much longer needed. I have an iPhone 3, and what I found out is that most apps I downloaded the first few months just stopped working. No updates, no functionality left. Rendering 50% of my iPhone completely useless. A crap old netbook with Firefox and XP, still deals with almost every App-functionality just by going to the oldfashioned website in the browser.
First I thought apps were going to kill the web. But apps kill themselves. Long live the web. As long as Chrome does not pretend to much to become the next IE6, and we all stick to basic good working sites, the app-hype may pass over as soon as possible.

This is something I truly respect.It would make it easier to shift between platforms.

I’ve seen a lot of people shying away from changing platforms simply because of how much money they  have invested in iOS or Android.
