Everything we’ve learned in the past decade about preferring open standards to proprietary platforms and user-focused interfaces to masturbatory ones is forgotten as designers and publishers once again scramble to create novelty interfaces no one but them cares about.
I couldn’t agree more. I groan every time I see another new iPad app that is clearly just a website wrapping itself up in a proprietary app format. I enjoy the novelty of all these apps, and I love my (wife’s) iPad, but if there’s no good answer to the questions: “why is this an app instead of just a website” then you’re doing it wrong.
