“My favorite thing that facebook does vs. myspace and friendster (when they were on top) is that they update and change their product in pretty substantial ways despite constant cries from cynical users saying “the new facebook sucks.” But he’s held on. 2 years ago, you could call Zuckerberg’s success dumb luck, but now its clear that he knows what he’s doing and he can lead an agile web software company with the best of them..”

Think like a Grand Master, or your iPhone app will fail | Broadersheet iPhone Edition:

So true. Although in my case, while thinking about it often, I don’t actually code anything until a few days before the version in review is accepted. Sometimes you just need a break.

“It’s not so important finding somebody that has had the experience. It’s more finding somebody who has the right taste and qualities, because I feel like you can’t teach somebody taste, and I want to be with somebody whose taste is going to teach me something.”

The screenshot above is taken from the iLime signup page. It’s an interesting choice — to highlight savings over your competitor — even more so, to literally use their name.

I don’t like it. It’s the wrong thing to do.

When a new market is being established, when you choose to compete on price, you’ve just set the expectation that you’re the second-ran company in the market. There are no other side by side comparisons of features, just that iLime is cheaper than Urban Airship.

So what does that tell me? That I need to look at the Urban Airship guys to see why they feel what they provide is more valuable. Is it? I have no idea. I do know that I like the UA guys better than the iLime guys, but that’s just a personal opinion.

I met both companies while at iPhoneDevCamp 3, and to be honest the Urban Airship guys were more on top of their game. They’re also the only ones that have been in contact with me since IPDC3. So perhaps they clearly are the winners here.

davidkaneda:

Notepod is a new sketchbook for iPhone UI designers from Australia-based Jacky Winter Group and Inventive Labs. They look like the perfect complement to the iPhone Stencil Kit from Design Commission. $17.95 through PayPal.
