Not including the "app culture" that results in things like the Hilton (for example) app being just a bookmark into their mobile website.  That does not make it a fully fledged application.  I could have used my web browser to get to the same place and flow better as well :)  (oh and the per-brand apps that exist as well.. *sigh*).

Not sure how to import my crypto key into those :)
