I am tired of listening to this as the lamest excuse for ACTUALLY NOT HAVING any good desktop mobile app. I WANT a desktop app for a) Amazon music shopping (no I dont want to o it over a Browser browsing the Amazon/MP3 page fillled with details which I don't need while shopping over my smartphone. b) Google Maps - I want an instant on Desktop app and not have to open a browser, point ot he Google maps URL put in my selections (which the browser page doesn't remember) and all that while driving. Instead a desktop apps with pre-set selections and preferences is much faster and desired <by me>. c) I want an Ebay app to follow My Ebay while out and about and I am interetsed in a particulr item - not the browser interface please again. d) I want a desktop stock application where I can store my portfolio and follow it regularly (and not store my portfolio on some other developer's site which gives nice AJAXed mobile design but will be down 2 days in a week. e) I want integration between severaal desktop apps where possible and where they can talk to each other (and not standalone web apps which CAN'T talk to each other). g) I use MovieFone as a web app to locate movies around me ... and each time I am soewhere away from home location I have to enter my zip code of where I am. A desktop app (or browser in this case) with integration to the GPS coordinates of my GPS enabled phone would be mych better to locate movies around me. f)... and several and several more reasons. Why do we have to justify web browser as an app medium to cover up the lack of desktop apps /
