Hi.

A phone is a phone and if you don't intend to use it like a phone, you have
to deal with the consequences and not the phone makers.

But to me, this is a text book example of "I need a faster horse" kind of
problem. Making application X load faster will not solve anything. It is
only a symptom to another problem. I believe Improving application loading
time will improve the experience.
