Absolutely. I think Nick refers to mobile users, in which case the
tradeoffs are (a) the time of the user (b) mobile bandwidth (c)
processing power, i.e. must the user buy a faster phone to run the app
(d) RAM (e) flash (f) Wlan bandwidth that is often available at home /
work.
I think I have these resources in order from most significant to least
significant for the average app store app. So when he says
"client-side", I'm starting to wonder because client-server apps are
generally less responsive and require more mobile bandwidth, consuming
2 precious resources.
