I'm also having no luck with intent URIs. It would be very helpful if someone could post an example href that launched some common app, e.g. calculator. It seems to me it should be something like <a href="intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;category=android.intent.category.DEFAULT;component=com.android.calculator2.Calculator;end">Intent url</a> but that doesn't work. I've tried a lot of variations on it, and so far they all either get a 404 from the browser or crash the browser.
