Just finished meeting with a client, and Counter franchise owner, who turned my attention to this amazing web app the counter recently launched to take pick up orders online. Bravo to the design firm that made this, didn’t get the name.
The application model of the future is the web application model. The apps will live on the web. Mobile apps on platforms like iOS and Android are a temporary step along the way toward the full mobile web. Now, that temporary step may last for a very long time. Because the networks are still limited. But if you grant me the very big assumption that at some point we will have ubiquitous, high-speed wireless connectivity, then in time everything will end up back in the web model. Because the technology wants it to work that way.
