Everyone has a smartphone Fuck. That. Shit. You know who always says this? People with smart phones. It's amazing how having a smart phone convinces you that everyone has one. You also are convinced that they have your exact model of smart phone. Buy an iPhone? Guess what, suddenly everyone has one and you should be writing iPhone apps. Android? No way, nobody has one of those. Mobile is definitely an interesting area to look at, but always trying to be on the cusp of the next big thing just means you'll spin your wheels a lot chasing stuff that doesn't pan out. Just ask everyone who touted Wave as "The thing you need to f-ing know right now!!!1!11!" Don't be scared of getting passed over by the next hotness. Just look at all the plenty of companies making money on stuff that's old and tired. Wanna make money? Look at email! Groupon, Mailchimp, and a whole host of other companies are making money hand over fist. Try tell them about how email is dead.
