Why does the App gap even exist?

Whether this is true or not, good. I dont want a bloated mess like Android. Regardless, apps like Hbogo are available on Xbox. Im pretty sure there are just as much wp users as Xbox. I know that's one app, but a major one imo. I dont think the issue is a developers lack of system setting access. I think it's laziness. Well, according to Rubino they dont want to waste resources on updates. Look at the apps from Rudy that work fine without deeper system settings or whatever.

Xbox is a more likely system to be used to watch movies so HBO wrote an app as the xbox is often situated in the lounge room of homes. The phone is pretty useless for movies, so they didn't bother. Therein lies one of the issues with Windows et al. At least four different platforms all under the name of Windows and NOTHING will run cross-platform. Msoft are trying to change that but it is a huge corporation with Institutionalized thinking and mostly staffed by older farts. Just check some of their online tutorials for app programming and there is no one under 40 there.

It's hard, if not impossible to change thinking when rigid, self-protecting minds defend their patch. I doubt a single windows cross-platform app system will exist within the next 10-years at least. I would LOVE to be proven wrong. I have hundreds of Windows apps that I have developed over the years for x86/x64 and would LOVE to be able to compile them for phone. Instead I have to totally rewrite them and that ain't gonna happen.

Who is Rudy and where can I see some of his/her apps?

Who is Rubino? Updates are not the issue - cross-platform is IMHO.

I assume from that comment that you know everything there is to know and has ever been known. I, on the other hand, do know quite a lot, but probably only about 7% of the greater Universal knowledge.

It would have been more helpful to answer with links or directions such that we poor ignorant old 7-percenters may better-educate ourselves.

I had done a search on both names before posting that and came up with so many hits, I found it difficult to get even close to what DeansMilk might be alluding to. So, as a lowly, humble but eager to learn 7-percenter, I asked for help to broaden my pathetic grasp on such knowledge.

This is a tough place. It's like playing poker: difficult to play unless you grow up doing it!

Silly old me, and I thought this was HELP forum. Sad really, Mobile Nations will have to do without my click-throughs for ads I guess as I need to find a forum that does actually work to be helpful.

It's like living in America and not knowing who the president is. Well, not really, but yeah kind of like that.
