So, the Android app doesn’t report back page views, did I get that right? With tablets the gap between mobile and non-mobile is shirking, I use a tablet for reading the web very often even when having access to a laptop, I would not use a phone for that, and with a keyboard and perhaps a larger tablet I could do much of my work on it. (Fun anecdote: there is such a thing as a country with most of its current Constitution assembled on an iPad.) I don’t want to take any position on the issue but I would recommend urgently fixing the Android / Apple app to report back page views, from my angle Wikipedia-in-a-browser is rapidly becoming obsolete. It is an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are books. I read books comfortably on the couch, on a tablet or Kindle, since they don’t require high-bandwith text entry. I don’t go to the desk and crouch over the laptop to read an encyclopedia, it is bad enough to do it when working or writing. (I find it funny how Gizmodo asked if people still use tablets? People still breathe? To me, tablets ergonomically book-ifying my web reading experience was the best thing that happened since the invention of the wifi.)
