accessibility as well.

I can access news.yc on my t-mobile dash, my mac, my desktop & my friend can access it on his iphone or ubuntu machine. Installed native apps can't do this, unless you install them, which requires download and os compatibility.

disabled people use accessibility differently. you might want to use ubiquity or platform-independence as alternative phrases.

But yes, i totally agree with you. multimodal data/application access is a beautiful thing.
