Well said David.
One thing I'd like to add to the conversation though is that I see people all
the time that consider their mobile interfaces as a low functionality add-on
to the real application. While I've dealt with mobile apps that way
I don't think you should try and port complex business applications to a
phone, but specific features suit a phone.
Dead right! Your salon app is a perfect example. But as progress produces
more smaller and useful devices of various kinds we developers suffer with
more code and app versions.

century?

I would love if MS bought Xamarin and created a first class .NET tool for
developing Mobile and cross platform apps. The only problem I can see is
that Apple and Google would try and block it.
Imagine where .NET would be today if MS had executed on cross platform the
way Xamarin do.
I'm not quite sure I follow Craig - what is missing from Xamarin's toolset
that MS may add? From my experience (admittedly not exhaustive), Xamarin
already have a first class toolkit for cross platform mobile and desktop
apps. Web's not quite where I'd like it to be, but with HTML5 / CSS3 etc
it's
Thank chaps, I've forwarded the bodies of your replies to my colleague.
Ian, I'm certainly aftraid that consumer demand for apps on mobile devices
will result in a dumb versions of sophisticatd applications and will
probably require developing parallel apps. I have some Windows WinForms and
WPF
