Apple blocks simulation game from Apps Store - 12 views

  •  
    Should colleges create simulation games as iOS apps, if this kind of blockage can happen?

    Well there's always Android - I really like my Nexus 7 a lot; take it everywhere. And I've found downloading bits directly from the web for Android to be not too bothersome (the Humble Bundle folks have a workable system going).
  •  
    Is the Play store more open?
  •  
    I thought it was, though I can't find any particular article attesting to that fact (maybe the respective Wikipedia pages would give a clue). But I also thought that it was not possible to install an app on an iOS device without a jailbroken phone - on Android if you have the .pks or whatever-type file on the web somewhere, you can install it, even on the standard version of Android.

    Sounds like a potential Play/Android advantage. Then there's the Web.

    Yes, and especially since tablets are becoming more common, tools formatted for the web don't have to be squished onto a smartphone screen as much as they once might have been.

    Good point. Perhaps we'll see phones hew to apps, and tablets cleave to the Web.
