On the other hand, a typical user would expect an in-application feature
called "zoom" to zoom.
There's a tension between website behavior and application behavior that
has yet to be resolved. I think this is the key element where responsive
design faces a challenge. Not every use case with a smal
I agree with the intial responses:
For the functionality they desire, they should be using an OS level
