SMS Finally Entering Mainstream Culture in the US…

Surprising enough the SMS service was quickly and extremely well accepted by users all around the world… except in the US where it took longer and SMS usage started really picking up about two years ago:

SMSes sent monthly in the US

Today we see the real proof that SMSes are entering mainstream culture in the US – they are being featured in music clips ;)

P.S. Thanks to my friend Spartak for pointing me out Mann & Jason Derulo’s song!

Speed is King… Kindle for iPad

April 4, 2010

It’s amazing how quickly Amazon developed Kindle for iPad. The mobile app was approved by Apple yesterday (with the official iPad launch) and now it’s on sale in iTunes.

Two months delay and Amazon would have faced completely different situation as many users would have already moved from Kindle to iBooks… And of course such move would have had great long-term impact on Amazon’s business.

Many times the future of companies (even big ones) lies in the hands (and heads) of several engineers… Delay a project two months and maybe you kill a start-up with otherwise sound business concept, or create a fearsome rival.
