If a mobile app wanted to be updated every single week, I would get annoyed at some point. The point is that web applications can do this in a seamless manner.


There's no technical reason why that should be so. Google Chrome doesn't make you click a button to update it, or even tell you that it has updated. It just does it.


Mobile is different because people have to pay for bandwidth


Not a problem with Google's binary delta based updater.
