Create a simple signup page to attract customers leading up to launch. Over the weekend I released a “lite” version of GoodDay. My price experiment over the holidays showed me that the difference between free and 0.99 is an amazing barrier. So, if someone was holding out for another price drop… you can get the free version now. It’s ad supported. The paid version will continue to [...]

I’ve decided that new feature work should start with a design for a mobile device first. We’ve been working on mobile [...]

One of the most thrilling aspects of purchasing the 3G iPhone was seeing the size of the power adaptor. Seriously, having been a Zune/Blackjack user for the last year, it was a relief to find out that the adaptor was lighter & smaller than the actual device… by a large margin. The design is so [...]
