I semi-keep up with web development and the question I came up with a while back was, why have "mobile apps" anymore when HTML 5 adapts to the display device? There is probably some benefit for continuing to develop them that I am simply not aware of, but I can't help but wonder if it isn't just a slowly dying betamax.
I never opt for the mobile versions of anything even though I do use my phone a lot for the internet. I have tried a few in the past and was usually disappointed or frustrated by the interface difference, even though I am aware of the mobile device interface model. Along the lines of what Worf said, I am also suspicious of who may be benefitting from my essentially guaranteeing that they have a link to my cell phone.
I may be in the minority on all this however since there is a part of me that still tries to refuse to accept a cell phone as anything more than just a telephone plus texting capability.
