I was an Android dev for 1.5 yrs (after coming from Andorid firmware/middleware background).
In these last 4-5 months that I have been a frontend dev (angular) and have played around with chrome throttling dev tool and questions by product about load time that I realised how life is difficult for web developers and users in emerging markets.
It's not like one doesn't have to think of load time, performance, and bandwidth in Android but, there, things are quite standard to some extend when comes to achieving a decent level of performance.
One thing I have learned, and still learning, and that is avoid jquery (and esp. it's plugins) as much as you can. I mean they can pile up really fast.
