Quite right, Dan. My poorly edited text intended to convey that developers shouldn't continue to question why they should do something with alternative user interfaces. It should be evident that after over a decade of GUI and now voice/mobile that learning how to do these things should be a given. I was talking about technology in general, not specific tasks. I'll note that when people ask questions here like "how do I connect to Universe with ODBC", my response here is frequently "why ODBC?" and "what are you ultimately trying to achieve?" Such responses are often met with hostility, though as you say, it's important to understand why so that we can provide better solutions. A guy just can't win in these forums... LOL It would be interesting to get some feedback from others here who has actually engaged in discussions about mobile interfaces to their U2 apps.
