Instapaper is definitely the number 1 reason I use Twitter as my primary news source - and the integration to the Twitter iPhone app is perfect. Seems like a perfect potential acquisition.
Not saying I disagree, but check out VoiceCentral Black Swan. It's a web app that links to Google Voice, but very much feels like a native app. Much better than the Google website.
FCC still hasn't approved the purchase. I'm hard-pressed to see any anti-trust issues now, but imagine if it got blocked? It will be tough to compete with iAd.
I second that - 2/3 through and have a hard time putting it down. It's written in a way that outsiders can understand the hour-by-hour details of the crisis. While some of his opinions are clear, it seems mostly objective.
I bet you could sell more Eye-Fi's if there were an easy way to upload new firmware to the card. It's a fundamentally interesting product but I think you could get a lot more creative uses for it from opening it up more to your customers.
You could also sell more Eye-Fis if they supported CompactFlash in addition to SD. I thought I could use an SD to CF converter, but they are apparently pretty dodgy.
I'm shocked that there isn't a way to wirelessly send pictures to a tablet PC for instant studio proofing with a DSLR that saves to CompactFlash, but there doesn't seem to be.
Yes, rogupta - to Martin's point here... if EyeFi is in your portfolio then I would urge you to push for CF version... I only use pro camera gear which doesn't take SD.
I've talked to the EyeFi guys about this but it seems to fall onto deaf ears.
I also agree that there should be an open platform option for these -- you could sell a ton of these if people could use them for their own uses that go beyond the original concept of uploading to the internet.
While that is relevant for you and me, I'm guessing for the vast majority of phone users, this is meaningless. The average phone user does not download apps outside the app store. I would argue the same folks who do download outside the app store would just jailbreak their iPhone.
Either way, I'm all for a more open approval process.
Users cannot download apps outside of the app store without jailbreaking.
It's an awfully far-fetched assumption to think that users wouldn't download apps outside of the app store if that were an option. People download windows/mac apps all the time.
Read the parent comment. I was replying to the specific statement that one cannot download apps onto the device other than through the App Store, not addressing whether it is useful or not as a channel to distribute apps.
As to your other points, sign up for the Enterprise program.

I can get out and push my car, but that doesn't make it a hybrid.
As to your other points, sign up for the Enterprise program.
The enterprise program does not allow for external distribution and is not useful (or even permitted) outside of large enterprise organizations.
"The Standard and Enterprise Programs allow you to share your application with _up to 100_ other iPhone or iPod touch users with Ad Hoc distribution. Share your application through email or by posting it to a web site or server." (emphasis added)
I'm sure you can work around this somehow, but this isn't really the same as allowing unlimited and free distribution.
