» 2010 Zagat Released, Usual Suspects Reign--People still use Zagat?

I will admit I have the 2009 edition sitting on my coffee table, but I can definitely say I haven’t found a great new restaurant via Zagat in longer than I can remember.

Food blogs, review sites and foodie friends tend to be much more useful.

» iPhone App Store Developers Aren't Getting Rich

Interesting article in Newsweek…

Overwhelming competition, difficult discovery and the rapid race to the bottom of the pricing chart ($0-$0.99) is making it increasingly more difficult to make a decent sustainable profit.

I think at some point developers will be forced to walk away/deprioritize iPhone, raise their prices gradually, move to another platform with some price floor or alternate models (see: subscription).

With no fewer than 6 imminent Android OS phone launches in the US, I think that marketplace may have a chance to pick up steam. Of course Android Market is not without its own problems—any user can return your app for a full refund within 24 hours—sorry game developers! (note: Gaming is the most popular category in mobile apps)

» Research In Motion (RIM) Acquires Torch Mobile. Bringing WebKit to BlackBerry?

From the Torch Mobile Blog:

“Our team of developers will join RIM’s global organization and will now be focused on utilizing our WebKit-based mobile browser expertise to contribute to the ongoing enhancement of the BlackBerry® platform.”

Torch makes a WebKit browser called “Iris” for Windows Mobile that supports HTML5 amongst other things… All work on that product is supposedly ending and those developers will focus on bringing WebKit to BlackBerry devices. Big News. Maybe?
