37signals launch Highrise for iPhone

• bensummers 17y ago
  Having written an iPhone app for a complex web service recently, it's fascinating to read about other's thought processes when knowing what to include and what to leave out. Hopefully they'll post the promised design notes soon. It is very interesting that they included a game to play for the initial download, though.

    Address Books take a surprisingly long time to download.

  I'm surprised they're giving it away for free. I realize the real money is in Highrise monthly subscriptions, but I'd think -- just like the jobs board, books, etc. -- this is a by-product they could make a little extra on the side with.

    They probably just want as many people as possible to use it and rave about their service. The income they're passing up wouldn't be huge, compared to the ongoing monthly fee. Any significant price would stop people using it.

    One month of subscriber revenue would surpass any kind of revenue they could get from the app store.
