commercial apps are dying

there's so much competition on platforms like google play and ios that developers are no longer profiting because if the price is over 99 cents nobody buys it, or someone just releases a free alternative

what do we do

'apps' are going for the bullshit 'pay money to use any features' freeware market

it either becomes the dominating form of software or it gets fucked as an overused system and we have a tiny dot net bubble burst kind of thing where people stop making 'apps' for everything until they get integrated in a more streamlined way (like how companies made websites for everything for no reason in 2003)

just my apinion!

yeah basically

i havent installed anything on my surface yet just because the marketplace is already so full of useless shitware

MS is planning on making their next OS run on PCs, phones, tablets and xbox all in the same package which could bring something interesting or 'streamlined' results as you said

ya if programs worked seamlessly on all of your devices it would be nice but you'll need to reach a point where people stop buying desktops/laptops with hardware considerably better than tablets/phones

we're getting close but the processors in phones and most tablets suck shit because they spend most of the device budget on the screen and the gpu
