This thread was basically inspired by another thread where the OP stated he was going to swap his n900 because his friend's fone had an amaaaaaazing function where it listed nearby restaurants etc. Now, sat in front of a laptop, would you search for a program to download/buy with the same function, or would you just google it? I know which I'd choose and it is exactly this which means a 'lack of apps' isn't actually a big deal at all...
The difference (as ysss points out though I don't agree fully with what he says) is that a laptop would have alot more screen real estate.

A laptop is also likely to be hooked into a fast connection while even with 3G some sites take time to load (especially ones that are designed for desktop/laptops). Though I personally don't think an app store (or an app for each website) is the solution, rather it's to properly design websites for mobile usage.
