#3 Don’t forget that the ‘U’ in URL stands for Universal*

* it actually stands for ‘uniform.’ ah well, close enough. ;-)

URLs Should Go to Content, Not Mobile Home

Links don’t open apps

Do Apps Create Platform Lock-in?

If you've bought $200 worth of applications for your smartphone, you're much less likely to switch to a different model in the future.

In short, high spending on smartphone apps ensures long-term platform loyalty.

App Cost

Twitter for iPhone Free

Reeder $2.99

Instapaper $4.99

Facebook Free

1Password $9.99

Total $17.97

Do Apps REALLY Create Platform Lock-in?

Switching Costs are Lower

Are App Stores Essential to a Platform’s Success?

1. Android Has Horrible App Store2. Needs to improve App Store to Compete

3. Oh Wait... Nevermind

81% of iPhone owners have household incomes greater than the U.S. median household income

The analyst says Cook “appeared to reaffirm the notion that Apple is likely to develop lower priced offerings” to expand the market for the iPhone. Cook said the company is planning “clever things” to address the prepaid market, and that Apple did not want its products to be “just for the rich,” and that the company is “not ceding any market.”

Cheaper iPhone Will Be a Big Deal(I think. Remember I don’t know either!)
