Mobile: "This Time It's Different"
Posted Sep 05, 2008 12:18pm EDT by Sarah Lacy in Investing, Electronics, Internet, Venture Capital, M and A, IPOsEvery five years or so in the Valley there's a lot of hype about mobile being the next big thing. Only it never quite pans out. This is one of those times, and while skeptics are still out there, there are also a lot of believers. Why? The iPhone. It's far less about the glitzy hardware than the software and developers platform that for the first time enables not only Web-like experiences but applications we've never even seen on the Web, thanks to that GPS chip.
Web kingpins Jason Calacanis and Michael Arrington are two of the believers. At their TechCrunch50 conference on Monday, they plan on showing the valley several new companies that prove it.

Michael, you mentioned your wanted a person versus person Chess iPhone game on your blog. You mentioned it didn't yet exist in the above podcast. Versus Chess has been available since two days after Apple's AppStore went live. (I guess we really need to work on marketing) http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284963349&mt=8

lamb740 "its so weird when old people are talking about our young people's stuff....iphones, facebook, etc." WTF???? lamb740, are you a retard or do you really believe that idiotic statement of yours??? These things are toys made for your people??? Get a grip!! It's so weird hearing a clueless kid assume that the whole world revolves around their generation. The classic and tragic human stupidity embodied in this douchebag.
