Pretty certain I've got an optimised version of Flipboard on my tablet. Path I haven't got on my tablet, but there's an optimised version available if I want it.
What other existing types of platform would you expect their services to be on at the moment? Flipboard for one almost certainly wouldn't make a great deal of sense as a web app. That doesn't mean that they aren't considering whether it would look good on a gesture-controlled internet TV, or on Google Glass.
- marknutter 14y agoI guess I consider tablets mobile devices. But even so, my other examples still hold and there are lots more out there who focus only on smartphones and usually only iPhones.
- prof_hobart 14y agoMobile as a general term covers most of the things that the article is talking about - Google Glass, car dashboards etc are all "mobile" technologies. If he means that wider term, then the article is even more stupid, so I can only assume he's referring to mobile phones specifically. And again, what a company has in market now bears little relationship to what they have in their strategy. As far as "new" channels, my company currently only has a phone app , but we are regularly considering where we might want to go next. And I've not yet talked to a single supplier of any phone technology who isn't at least thinking about the future outside of that one channel (and I talk to a lot of suppliers).
