Nice physical iPhone app sketching props. 10 pack of magnetic wet/dry erase surfaces in the form of a slightly exaggerated iPhone.
Business app for mobile travelers - smart move on the part of Regus.
Nice collection of mobile-related books - covering design, strategy, best/worst practices, iPhone-specific, general tips for mobile, etc.
Many new ways to interact with information and the world given mobile technology. Is this useful? Sometimes, and as the spoof video points out, can be obviously be hazardous to your health.
TIps for anyone - not just SMBs interested in Mobile Apps
"So, you’re a small or medium-sized business, and you want to build a Facebook, mobile or web app. You’re undertaking something that’s both simple and ambitious, and you’re probably looking for a bit of help.
But do you use one of the many do-it-yourself tools online, or do you call in a professional? If you find you need a developer to work with you, do you reach out to a freelancer or do you call an agency? And when — if ever — do you need to hire your own full- or part-time, in-house dev to work on your website and applications?"
Interesting take at BusinessWeek by Douglas MacMillan regarding Amazon releasing the Kindle app for the iPhone.
My take:
The ongoing revenue stream for Amazon is clearly in the electronic books themselves, not in the Kindle (or Kindle 2), and in general, as I found out when I was consulting with a company who served the microfinance world - credit card companies aren't competing with each other, they're competing with CASH.
Amazon isn't competing with Apple, they're competing with non-consumers of books and magazines, and for those who, particularly in this economy, who aren't willing to pony up for the Kindle but who still want the content. I have the Kindle app on my iPhone, and while it works just fine, I agree with the general sentiment, that for serious readers (I frequently consume 2-3 books a week), the iPhone isn't the format you're going to want to read. The Kindle? Perhaps.
The economics of e-books are still a bit expensive for the consumers, and publishers have only begun to get their heads around this "new" distribution model. Then again, Apple's iTunes Music Store wasn't exactly an overnight success. Innovations take time to find a foundation. All sorts of baggage that needs to be undone, for consumers, authors, publishers, and on and on.
From Justin R. Levy - Amazon Remembers What You Want to Buy...
Like I need even more in my wish list (>500 items - it's my placeholder bucket for renting, borrowing, buying just about everything except transportation and housing). This is the sort of functionality I've wanted for years. See something you want to remember to look into more deeply (and check for Amazon discounts) while walking around town, while on the road, etc., and pop the info (as painlessly as possible) into your mobile device, et voila!
We're finally getting somewhere useful with the mobile world!
"The iPhone, like the Mac, is extremely simple and intuitive to use. Odds are that you’ve never even cracked open the user manual since the way just about everything works is pretty obvious.
But its simplicity can be a double-edged sword… there are many small “convenience features” that are often hidden away. If Apple exposed them in a more obvious way, it’d take away from the elegance of the device. And its elegance is one of its strongest points."
Just stumbed onto this site - one of the best I've seen so far for the iPhone.
Interesting collection of ways to access Gmail - mobile, secure, without javascript, etc..
Many paths to audio search - in this case, you take an iPhone, an iPhone app (Shazam), turn on the mic for Shazam to listen to a clip (playing on your car radio perhaps), and matches the clip to find the artist, album, etc.. Findability - it's not just se
