10000 wallpapers with the same adware included aren't 10000 applications... ;-) Also, because of the nature of how mobile phones are used, a lot of these applications are single purpose (check program schedules for 1 TV station) or even throwaway applications (who's gonna use the Rock Festival XYZ 2010 app after the festival?). If you want to encourage such applications[1], I think it would be best to create or adopt a simple framework, maybe based on web technology (HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, WebGL, etc.) or a VM like Dalvik, include automatic package creation, and preferably some sandboxed environment to run them in. [1] preferably minus the adware/spyware ;-) -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
