Stuff like this is probably good from a consumer perspective. From a "state of the web" perspective (and speaking as a web geek/professional), this is terrible. Yet another step away from the openness of the web and into the walled garden of platform-specific apps. I thought we had already voted as a planet to embrace what the web represents. Walled gardens like Compuserve, Prodigy, (old) AOL, etc.<p>Why can't links go to a mobile-optimized website, and from there (if I chose) I can decide to open that content in a native app? The browser should be the first destination of links.
