Wrong way: Viewing iPhone as Promised Land for Mobile Apps

There are many incorrect views of the iPhone. One big misconception, as Stuart Dredge points out, is the mistake in thinking that the iPhone is the Promise Land (see #3 in his list).

See:

Wrong way to view iPhone

Here's a quote: 

 Most obvious among the many games 
 developers dumping Java as fast as 
 they can in the expectation of App 
 Store riches... [will see that] the 
 App Store is still a relative niche 
 in the general scheme of things. 
 This time in six months, expect to 
 hear more companies talking about 
 their cross-mobile-platform 
 strategies.  Especially if their 
 first iPhone apps sank without a 
 trace.
And if your cross-mobile-platform strategy for your mobile app does not include Java ME technology... Well, let's just say that Stuart Dredge did try to warn you! ;-)
