I could see why you'd think I'm being defensive, given all the 37Signals fanboys out there, but I am not among them. I respect their work, but I disagree with a lot of their ideas about running a company. I am just struggling to find the point of the article. If he's simply calling out 37Signals, then more power to him. Here I was trying to find something to take away from the article.

His main point is that 37signals doesn't have a native app for Android/iOS but should because of the increasing number of users that own these devices. His secondary point is that a mobile phone web app simply isn't enough. Without rereading the article, he backs this up with an example of low internet signal in the bathroom and how a native app could remedy such a matter. He also mentions an airplane. That was my simple summary. My takeaway is that software entrepreneurs should consider such issues. As he is right. Mobile web apps aren't enough. The UI paradigm between iOS and Android alone is enough to demonstrate this. I'm going to write a blog post about this tomorrow. Interesting topic that coincidentally I was discussing last night.
