I have always hated that popular blog sites that have their own version of a native base App for your phone or tablet or whatever type of device you might be using.  I often visit sites such as gizmodo/lifehacker, engadget and mashable.  Gizmodo/Lifehacker doesn’t have an app they instead have implemented a site that is optimized to smaller devices but on the iOS device you get automatically redirected to their mobile version of the site.   But Engadget and Mashable decided to implement an App – A full blown application for your device about their blog site.  At first I thought it was riduclous. Why would I need an App that has a website?? (Google introduction to “Chrome App” also raises eyebrows, but thats another discussion)  Anyways so I tried out Engadget’s App for the iPad and I have to say I am pretty impressed.  Its a lot smoother then the website and navigating images is really nice.  So with that said until Engadget improves their online experience for images, I will continue to use the App.  Does this mean I will create an App for BetaBuzz? No. I do find it neat but I find it also unnecessary.  The web experience should still be priority for all blog sites.  So I will work to improve Beta Buzz with no intentions of creating an App for an mobile device.
