   Precisely. We developed an Android app and the plan was to also port it to   
   the iPhone. Dealing with Apple was such a pain in the ass the iPhone   
   version was dropped. The web client only needed a browser, any browser,   
   although Safari was marginal. No installation required. In public safety   
   and other industries not having to install applications is a plus. Back   
   when IE completely sucked they were even reluctant to install Firefox.
