*"I also speak about user experience. Updating a large app takes more time than updating a small one. A shorter period of installation means more conversions."*
the average connection speed for wifi adsl is like 1 mb/s even for a 30 mb/s its like 30 seconds and maybe another 30 to install. Is that so bad ? Even on slow mobile phone connection should not be more than few minutes. *"So deploying an app to manage 1000 pictures is the same as deploying THE SAME APP to manage Instagram?* *Sorry, but I don't get this. Usually your app server and your app data don't even share the same host computer, considering it is only one and it is not sharded/clustered."* Again as a user how am I suppose to know the diffirence ? All I care is how much space this app needs to run. In case of pharo I have not even bothered to analyse how much every single thing takes space. As a user how I benefit from knowing that the executable is 10 mbs when the app needs 1 GB to run smoothly ? Is it unreasonable that I care about the size of the whole package and even its future size under normal usage than size of individual parts ? *"It runs on Android. Even though it doesn't have a native Android look, nor it complies to most of the Android Development Guidelines.* *But I agree that 30 MBs is not something to worry about. I simply raised my longwinded opinion that I don't consider 30MB to be small on a mobile device."* it does ? now you have my full attention. I know that there was a build but I heard it had issues and was not working. I saw recently work on improving the multitouch and on screen keyboard but again I have seen no build . Does multitouch work properly ? Squeak has problem with multitouch. If pharo is usable on Android I want it in my Nexus NOW! How I do that ? Is there a simple way to install it ? I would love to try it. I would prefer not to have to build it myself. I really dont care about the native look and how much it complies, the fact that I will be able to run my pharo apps on my nexus and my galaxy note tablet would be awesome.
