It’s interesting to see people complaining that they can’t get Google’s Buzz on pre-Android v2 devices. This demonstrates a point I wrote about a while ago. The deeper web browsers get into phone APIs, the more fragmentation there will be. The web is not a ‘golden bullet’ and doesn’t solve fragmentation problems. What it does do is concentrate them at one place that might be said to be an advantage in terms of development effort, cost and maintainablity.
