Sorry, that should have been "I'm sure a lot of people" as opposed to "I'm a lot of people"
I can assure everyone, I am just a single person. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2011 2:36 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework Good points there David, which I notice a lot of people don't consider when dismissing the benefits of an app vs web. Another point is the better offline capabilities of a native app. I'm a lot of people on Vodafone over here in Australia (myself include) can understand the importance of this. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Jordan Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2011 2:11 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework Hi George I use a Windows phone 7. With a web page there is a cost of time for downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading. With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more intuitive to a phone user. The app loads quicker and runs quicker. However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then you need to create a separate app for each phone. With the new phones you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an enterprise application. Hence the decision to use an app vs web is related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to load. Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces. An app is a bit more secure. Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to access KPIs. There are just too many ways to skin a cat.
