But aren't these type of apps the ones that just give you some information, which you can easily find on the web, provided you have a proper mobile browser? I mean - I hear you: if I want info on my iphone, chances are I need to get an app... my N9, however, somehow provides a better/faster/more reliable browsing experince. But that's just me. I didn't try android, and I don't think I will, given the choices. As for the other things you say, perhaps they don't apply to me, but thanks for enumerating.
