Make the Connect Client an App

I've been fairly impressed with how the Connect Client has progressed and improved over the last 9 months, but looking forward to Windows10 and the future I think it needs to become an App not a client. As an app windows phones, win10 pcs, android and apple users can all access their connect client from the same interface layout. This would simplify life for power users with work cell phones possibly a field tablet and a work desktop/laptop, and those power users that can never seem to stop checking the communities or leave work at work can install it on personal pc's to further stay connected. If this was then pushed to allow things like photo's taken via the app to get pushed up to the cloud into your connected project it would simplify data management. I know some tools exist already for cellphone and tablet usage but it feels clumsy and segregated it needs to become "one" thing if the idea of Connected projects is going to take off.
If this could over time also begin to support other features like a built in add on for a free Bentley viewer to look at imodels stream lining projects would get much easier.
