And thanks for referencing this post.<br /><br />In retrospect, this article may be overly optimistic and perhaps end users are content with app isolation and lack of interoperability.<br /><br />It could be that, ultimately, interoperability is achieved not by matured device APIs but by cloud-based services.Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195785521277646822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656429443005102101.post-91315196649357439212011-09-25T06:18:33.875-07:002011-09-25T06:18:33.875-07:00I would love to see more app-to-app interoperabili...I would love to see more app-to-app interoperability. Whenever I visit a restaurant I want to checkin with Foursquare and Facebook. Then I want to send a photo of the meal to MealSnap and Foodspotting.<br /><br />Perhaps a solution would be a single app which shares with the appropriate services similar to what Posterous Auto-Post achieves for blog posts.<br /><br />Another solution would be to take a page from Do@'s (http://www.doat.com/) strategy and use a super-app to drive a collection of HTML5 apps to achieve interoperability.<br /><br />Android's Intents (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html) are a great approach to app-to-app interoperability for native mobile apps. A lot more flexible than Apple's.<br /><br />Used your article as a great overview of the app interoperability problem in my latest post: http://vaughan.io/post/10583410723/google-designers-dont-care-about-640-pixelsVaughanhttp://vaughan.ionoreply@blogger.com
