I thought so too – but I have a number of friends whose phones don’t handle animated GIFs over 2M (or maybe it was 3M ?) so I will sometimes scale it down for them.
It’s an easy mistake to think we own the base level of technology that’s out there, when in fact we may really have a more advanced level than other people – I forget sometimes too ’til someone complains 😛
Not only do they develop on their super-sophisticated machines but then they end up developing FOR their super-sophisticated machines..
…and then they wonder why they have to start issuing bug fixes, patches, lower resolution modes, etc.
Whenever I do development, I do it on a lower end machine for that reason – or at the very least, I constantly test on lower-end machines to make sure it works the same.
