We have chosen iPhone as the platform to release our first product. There are several reasons:
1. We love Apple products – MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, etc. You need ‘love’ to be creative.
2. We believe the devices like iPhone will change people’s life style, and we really would like to participate in that process.
3. This new platform (iPhone OS, Xcode, Objective-C) is a barrier of entry for big companies (because of the training cost, and high risk), it’s perfect for a small start-up to make a bet on.
We are not ready to announce our product yet, but we are very actively writing code already, and have a plan to launch our first product when Apple opens the iTunes Store for iPhone products this summer.
We are designing this product with following criteria in our mind:
- It’s so easy and natural to use
- It’s optimized for iPhone
- It fits really well to the lifestyle of iPhone users
- Once you see the value of this product, you are going to use it everyday
Stay tuned!
