Well, I don't want to sound patronizing, but the world is so much bigger than your notion of "Western world" where every student with iPhone has computer.

You are patronizing. Every student with an iPhone has access to a computer even if it isn't their own. If they are so poor that none of their facilities have one then they have a cheap Android. This fictional person you describe also has access to the web and Anki on there. Anki is not a very useful tool if you are not making or editing your own decks or a teacher is for you. This is an incredibly painful experience…

Well I have a friend who manages his entire self written 10.000 Card collection entirely on an Samsung Tab with AnkiDroid.

I would agree with you, but he doesn't seem to mind

It seems more than a little bit careless to agree on a deal without having those very important things hammered out. What if there is disagreement about these?

Well he didn't agree to a deal, he was the one who suggested the deal

This is simply not true.
