I'm writing an app. Much of what smartphones do today, they didn't do when I took up mobile development. I can defeat Google Analytics by blackholing its server with my hosts file, but that kind of thing is hard to do with mobile analytics. A while back I attended a talk on mobile analytics in Portland. One of the speakers displayed a photo of her company's data center, then went on to point out that their SDK was free of monetary charge to mobile developers. It costs a lot of money to outfit and operate a data center, yet their SDK is free? Someone has to be coughing up a lot of money for that information. I don't want to give them mine.
