Frankly stable software isn't that "stable". For instance, I have an iPad running iOS 9 that crashes multiple times a day. I often install beta software because either way at the end of the day I'm still going to be dealing with lots of bugs. Might as well as be on the bleeding edge then.
I don't see how you could get the most popular apps to work without Internet even if they were famous. Amazon, Facebook, YouTube Twitter⦠really the only things that can be done offline are productivity a la Final Cut or Logic and most people don't use those kinds of apps on the phone. Games too, I guess but eh.

Offline isn't much of an asset since most popular apps function as clients to Internet services like Facebook & Amazon.
One thing I never understood, if the web is that hard to develop for why is it the platform for most desktop software?
Actually, I my brother attends a school where ChromeBooks are mandatory.
I thought Comcast's answer to this was those data caps.
