ETA: The lack of security options as a choice in the poll was a total oversight *g*, I did totally think of that, and was of course going to include it.

Thank you.

So I've just had my android for about a month now, but I love it a lot. And it's much easier to just use the regular web than I expected it would be.

What does an app offer that the is easier? Is it resource conservation so my battery lasts longer? Or is it mostly to minimize the periphery so that I can hit all the links without needing to enlarge the text for better aim?
