I think you have valuable insight here and you've got some helpful anecdotal evidence, but the whole dollar sign before the ticker thing made me immediately think of the "M$" people. I'm assuming you're giving the ticker syntax, but it almost made me question your post, especially considering you're speaking against the iPhone. Just a knee jerk reaction from a passerby.

Oh sorry, sometimes I speak in "Twitter Speak" using the $<stock-symbol> to identify a company. So I would say $MSFT, not M$. I need to stop doing that and just type the company name out :). The funny thing about you commenting on me "speaking out against the iPhone" is that I just spent 12 weeks building a game for the iPhone [1]. And right now I'm working on a cross platform authentication method using a phone number and the platform I'm testing it out on first is iOS (then Android, then WinMo). I'm actually a mobile-first iOS-first developer that is realistic about the state of the ecosystem. I can't consciously just jump on a bandwagon and say everything is awesome when things aren't.
