We didnt go into business for ourselves to be at the mercy of a company like Apple which has utter disdain for developers. The Android store might make use change our minds and we might move some things over for obvious reasons but web apps was and is the best way too cut through the OS wars, whether for phones or desktops. We work in a Linux environment because of cost, stability and the open/freedom factor but the web is an international language. Call it esperanto if you will! Good stuff.
