This is a great read. From the ClickZ article:
“As [mobile] devices gain adoption”, said Mark Donovan, comScore SVP of mobile, in a release, “we have also seen the rise of the ‘digital omnivores’ – consumers who access content through several touchpoints during the course of their daily lives.”
“In order to meet the needs of these consumers,” he continued, “advertisers and publishers must learn to navigate this new landscape so they develop cross-platform strategies to effectively engage their audiences.”

From the official Netbiscuits Mobile Metrics Report press release:
“Clearly, the hype around HTML5, especially in the U.S., does not match the adoption rate,” said Michael Neidhoefer, CEO of Netbiscuits. “HTML5 is far from being the standard solution that mobile web and app developers are looking for when implementing rich UI features across multiple devices.”

iPhone 4S: Disappointed?

The iPhone 4S is official and judging from the blogs and tweets I’ve read, more than a few folks appear to be disappointed. I can’t say I blame them. I’m feeling a certain level of malaise too. After a little self-analysis, I’ve come up with the following reasons.
- The rumored new form factor was sexy and I wanted to see something new.
- Most of the specs were leaked to, or guessed by the media so there were no big surprises today.
- iOS 5 is still a few days away.
- Siri will not work on the iPhone 4.
But when I boil it down to the brass tacks, the main reason I am disappointed is that I am not eligible for an upgrade until May 2012. That means I will not get to use the phone I already love (my iPhone 4) with the addition of massive internal upgrades, rocket ship performance, a camera to die for and what looks to be one of the best voice recognition implementations I’ve ever seen.
By the time my upgrade eligibility comes around I’m confident the industry will be abuzz with speculation and rumors about the impending release of the iPhone 5. And I’ll be right there with them.
On Siri…
