I actually like having apps that might only launch another browser to take me to their mobile page.
Opening a browser and going to a website is great on a computer, and I'd hate to have a separate program to do that, but on a phone it's nice to have a shortcut right where everything else is. I like that when you click it, it does one thing.
It's just my opinion, and I know not everyone shares in it, but I abhor mobile browsers. On a screen that small you either sacrifice viewing space or easy access to navigation. I keep my bookmarked sites stored in my app list, because launching an app is rote versus launching the browser app then opening the bookmarks menu then selecting the bookmark.
The problem with this app, from what I got from the author, is that it doesn't launch a browser window, but instead has a complex and slow app, then redirects you to a browser. If it simply opened the browser window, I don't think this article would have been written.
