Re: Pullings from the iOS App Store
@Crashmaster, sorry to hear that. Audiohub is on my list of stuff that I would like to try as a gamer, but don't need to try as far as the database is concerned .
@Sebbyy, I really don't like this "vertical" business which for all intents and purposes means being reliant on a single company across multiple devices and storage methods. Effectively it's no different from just having your own stuff centrally as I do, it just requires subscription rather than, well file management, eg, if I put one of my smaller hard drives in my bag with all my books, documents, music and games on it, then I have them anywhere I want anyway and can maintain all my customization. What bothers me about this style of things is not owning my own music and games, or indeed being able to have much control over things like updates as indeed the fate of developers who fall fowl of the almighty Apple's policy shows.
As for desktop vs mobile as a stand alone platform, I can say there are far too many things I just wouldn't want to do on a mobile. In some cases those are things like watching dvds and playing music through huge speakers which simply rely on screen size, while in other cases those are things like managing documents, emails and browsing the net which are simply inconvenient due to the way the hardware and software work.
This is quite aside from the fact that even from a gaming perspective there is a distinct difference in pc and mobile games. With a few notable exceptions (sadly the somethinelse games were one), mobile games tend to be smaller in scope and intended for either quick or intermitant play, where as pc games tend to be longer and more serious.
In some cases this could be fixed by less inconvenient mobile practices, eg, a better web browsing experience, in others it's the very lack of file manag ement that provides the problem, eg, I can't imagine playing muds with soundpacks or trying to juggle the likes of rythm rage packs or swamp config files on a system where I can't actually manage the files themselves.
Ultimately for those who want to use a computer as a computer themselves you want a propper computer be that a desktop or laptop, for people who don't particularly care about owning their own things and are happy to just subscribe to what apple and google want them to have in the way they want them to have it a mobile can probably do most things, ---- at least until restrictions get too much and said companies shoot themselves in the foot with trying to further restrict customer experience.
For myself though it always comes down to "what the hell can I do! with this that I can't do equally well with something else"
