Wednesday August 05, 2009 Apple iPhone hits trough of disillusionment
Ah, how sweet. As every engineer worth their salt knows, there comes a time in the product lifecycle of a high tech gadget known as the "Trough of Disillusionment", where public opinion comes crashing down on a once high and lofty cool gizmo. See: iPhone hits trough of disillusionment Here's a quote: The rejection of Google Voice, potentially a killer app for smartphones, should prove that Apple doesn't care about its customers. The App Store approval process seems capricious and arbitrary. Spend time and money to develop an application only to have it denied for reasons nobody can quite articulate in advance.Poor iPhone developers. How quickly they discover that the grass is not all that much greener over on their multitouch device side. Come back to Java ME development. There's no cabal preventing you from uploading your Java ME game or app to GetJar.com. There's no big brother telling you Thou Must NOT Sell Your Java ME Mobile App. Who needs that? |
