Musings on Mobile Software. Android and all apps subject to GPL or copyleft is doomed? There’s a bit of “dull” IP law that was pointed out recently and didn’t get wide enough coverage.

Were Google to actually win a legal case with their technique and argument, this sets a nasty precedent in the opposite direction. It opens the door for anyone to use Google’...Mark Wi...

Musings on Mobile Software. What Happened to Nokia? On February 11th, one of the giants of the mobile world gave up control of their own fate and put it into the hands of Microsoft, the desktop software behemoth that has never managed to get a solid foothold in mobile. How did that happen? Did it really have to happen? What will be the results of this bizzare marriage? The well known history. What they actually say they’re going to do. Well, what they’ve said in the strategy announcement and subseq...

Musings on Mobile Software, Are Mobile Web Apps Really Doomed?

Musings on Mobile Software. Are Mobile Web Apps Really Doomed? Drew Crawford recently wrote an excellent post on “ Why mobile web apps are slow. Rdquo; which essentially concludes that mobile web apps are doomed to be “slow” for the next 5-10 years. As Drew pointed out, in 2010, we had Google Docs launch realtime collaboration for the desktop web. Taking that as a (possibly unfairly tough) benchmark for “a sufficiently complex web app” his graph shows. Ummm, TSMC - that place Apple is supposedly moving t...

Musings on Mobile Software. Nokia’s Downward Spiral. A few weeks after the fateful Feb ‘11 announcements I wrote about “ What Happened to Nokia. Rdquo;, it got picked up by some fairly big tech news sites and 10s of thousands of people read (or at least visited, it was a pretty long blog) what I had to say. Is pretty compelling in this instance. Tomi Ahonen has recently posted an incredibly long public assault on Stephen Elop’s management. The “Burning Platforms”. Original Plan Not Bad. I doubt it, but i...

Musings on Mobile Software. Improving App Economics (or why App.net is important). If you’re already aware of App.net and the back story then feel free to skip down to “Better Business Models”. Mobile Apps are awesome. Social networking is powerful and pervasive. We are spending many hours on these things every month (week or even day in some cases). However they both have serious economic problems. Problems that require different business models. But What About All That Money? If you get there. Here&rsq...

Musings on Mobile Software. The Smartphone Market Fallacy. The more things change the more they stay the same. Technology changes much faster than people’s habits and behaviours. Many market observers have said that the iPhone created a new product category, some called it a “superphone” while others, noting that these devices are not primarily used as phones. Was the first product in the category that the iPhone succeeded in bringing to the mass market.*. Why do I bring up this ancient history? Samsung&...
