Brett Boessen on 10 Jan 13Well 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).

Bryan Alexander on 10 Jan 13Is the Play store more open?

Brett Boessen on 10 Jan 13I 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.

Bryan Alexander on 11 Jan 13Sounds like a potential Play/Android advantage. Then there's the Web.

Brett Boessen on 11 Jan 13Yes, 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.

Bryan Alexander on 14 Jan 13Good point. Perhaps we'll see phones hew to apps, and tablets cleave to the Web.
