    Googled and searched the forums, but couldn't find an answer.

    There's been a lot of discussion regarding data usage since BB10 was released. Also, a lot of people clamoring for an app, and other folks say "just use the website."

    I'm wondering if the data usage is different between an app vs the website. For apps on BB10, does it matter if it's native or side-loaded?

    Thanks.

    hopefully one already has the app, or they gotta download it. I know I wait till I'm on wifi to download most apps.

    Thats just a thought. I don't know which uses more data in general use.

    I'd say website uses more since apps usually have the assets (images) and most of the logic. Of course if it always uses the same and therefore uses the browser cache then the website is better. If you always use private browsing then app is always better.

    In the end it depends on site and app.

    Take the CB10 app as an example. Now look at the CB website with all of the ads, header, sidebar, footer, user list. The answer should be obvious.
