I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, still running on stock ics 4.0.2, however, my question being should I really download and install apps for certain site ? Or just use the browser to visit their mobile website?
For example, I have the mobile version of NBA.com as a bookmark, I basically just it brows the scores and all that. The advantage to do it this way is that I saved up a bit of storage this way, cuz I didn't have to install any apps such as ESPN, Scores and tsn.. etc. Apps like those probably not gonna take much of your storage space, but it does run in the background almost all the time, and I believe they do gradually consume ur ram memory and battery power. Or the Browser actually consume more memory and battery in comparison to the apps?
Another concern will be the Permission issue. Some apps do gain access to some of your information, and not sure whether or not if its worth the risk. Plus with the compatibility problem, many apps are not well developed for certain device, especially the ones running on ics, therefore for the above reasons, I sometimes choose to use browser instead of apps for certain things.
Let me know what do you think :thumbup:
