If apps never worked together then you would have a 100% valid point, but the truth is sometimes I have four apps in the stack and the back button takes you back to the previous app, seamlessly. This is the power of a very flexible, but yes, ultimately schizophrenic design. > > Yes, I know, activities... bad excuse, same thing as why Android Apps > never rotate well, don't have nice transitions and why nobody seems to > want to write real tablet Apps. > This is changing in a big way -- the platform has really stabilized a lot (1 1/2 years with the same core SDK) and the tools and critical mass are there to start writing beautiful tablet apps. > Just for the life of me I will not understand why such a capable OS and > such capable hardware has to have such a horrid overall experience, I'm > deeply frustrated with it almost every time I try to use my Nexus but > OrangeSqueeze is really standing out, it's a really good App, one of the > few I've found so far now if there just was a real tablet version.... > Don't want to do one?

It comes down to time -- there are bikes to ride, books to read, games to play. Android apps will scale up to tablet better than an iOS app, so there is less incentive. I don't spend all day browsing in Orange Squeeze, I use it about 15 times a day, for about 20 seconds each time. That said, I want to explore more now that 1.3 is stabilizing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
