"I also speak about user experience. Updating a large app takes more time than updating a small one. A shorter period of installation means more conversions."
the average connection speed for wifi adsl is like 1 mb/s even for a 30 mb/s its like 30 seconds and maybe another 30 to install. Is that so bad ? Even on slow mobile phone connection should not be more than few minutes.
"So deploying an app to manage 1000 pictures is the same as deploying THE SAME APP to manage Instagram?
Sorry, but I don't get this. Usually your app server and your app data don't even share the same host computer, considering it is only one and it is not sharded/clustered."
Again as a user how am I suppose to know the diffirence ? All I care is how much space this app needs to run. In case of pharo I have not even bothered to analyse how much every single thing takes space. As a user how I benefit from knowing that the executable is 10 mbs when the app needs 1 GB to run smoothly ? Is it unreasonable that I care about the size of the whole package and even its future size under normal usage than size of individual parts ?��
"It runs on Android. Even though it doesn't have a native Android look, nor it complies to most of the Android Development Guidelines.
But I agree that 30 MBs is not something to worry about. I simply raised my longwinded opinion that I don't consider 30MB to be small on a mobile device."
it does ? now you have my full attention. I know that there was a build but I heard it had issues and was not working. I saw recently work on improving the multitouch and on screen keyboard but again I have seen no build . Does multitouch work properly ? Squeak has problem with multitouch.��
If pharo is usable on Android I want it in my Nexus NOW! How I do that ?�� Is there a simple way to install it ? I would love to try it. I would prefer not to have to build it myself.�� I really dont care about the native look and how much it complies, the fact that I will be able to run my pharo apps on my nexus and my galaxy note tablet would be awesome.
