>>Believe it or not, I had actually thought of that at one time as a joke app. I can't believe someone made millions off of it!
LOL. And then thousands of copy-cats made less than a buck because the novelty had worn off. That's the consumer market for you.
IMHO the change to mobile is now inevitable and probably is at least as significant as the shift from DOS to Windows. Developers who can think outside the square can do very well for a moment in time. It does require throwing away much of the DOS baggage on which we've relied, but that's the price of real change as opposed to the rearrangement that has dominated IT for years now.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
