It's nice being featured on MSNBC on a Monday morning. :)
“The difference between the two companies is that Apple has been fearless about transformational change while Microsoft has been reluctant to leave its past behind,” said Casey Ayers, president of MegatonApps in Jacksonville, Fla. His company soon will release its first iPad app, “Multitaskers” which includes a calculator, ruler, lantern, stopwatch and five more functions.
“Microsoft has always been loath to change and risk alienating some of its customers, but its inability to leave the past behind has left their product line bloated and dysfunctional,” Ayers said. “Yet iPhone completely changed the mobile space forever. Apple doesn't blink at making unpopular decisions if it believes they will result in a better end product. ... It's just a matter of time now before Apple blows past Microsoft's market cap.”
“More than anything, Microsoft's birthday wish should be for fearless leadership,” said app maker Ayers. “Without someone at the top who feels an urgency to constantly innovate in meaningful ways, Microsoft will shrink and become less relevant with each birthday to come.”

In this video feature, we talk about what designing quality iPhone experiences means by illustrating the issues with the recently-released Caesar’s Palace iPhone app and giving viewers an inside look at how MegatonApps designed a concept for CityCenter Las Vegas with these topics in mind.
Among the smartphone-owning respondents, more than half -- 52.3 percent -- said they are most likely to use a tablet device like the iPad to do work. Another three-quarters of smartphone users said they believe devices like the iPad will make them more productive at work.
Don't we know it.
No one but no one is happier about this than me. Namasté, friends. I honor the place where your money and my hard work meet.
Ends up that just blowing up iPhone apps to fill the iPad screen looks and feels weird, even if you use higher-resolution graphics so that nothing looks pixelated. So they were scrapped by you-know-who. Perhaps they’ll appear on the iPad in some re-imagined form this summer with OS 4.0, but when the iPad ships next month, there won’t be versions of these apps. At least that’s the story I’ve heard from a few well-informed little birdies. (There is, alas, no secret “widget” mode for iPad in OS 3.2, either.)
This is a little bit old, but it's a piece I wrote on how I design mobile user interfaces, in case you wondered how it works.
That's compared to every other mobile platform. BREW, Symbian, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile? All in the green spot. Yeah, I think we're on the right horse in this race.
