Paul Boutin wrote in “11 things I didn’t know about app development”, Most app discovery comes from viral word of mouth among customers, not from people searching app stores for something to download. I don’t know what it’s so much of a revelation to developers. The App Store is a warehouse of digital goods, a [...]

I can’t believe MMS is hot again. With the iPhone 3.0 software update, everyone is talking about it and can’t wait to try it. MMS has been around for more that 7 years but so badly implemented into devices that it was simply unusable. It’s crazy! We had to wait for Apple to show these [...]
