Yes, I think that is an ignorant assumption. I've hired extremely responsive, very good freelance developers on elance for less than $35p/h. Although I do agree with the positioning of the site as a 'premium' experience. If anything, for PR

Visually, the site is clean and well designed. However as a product I'm still not clear exactly where it would fit into a businesses needs. Is it a sales lead management tool? A customer support tool? An easy to use CRM? Project management

I think evidence points to this being true. For instance, in Australia - a technically advanced market where the iPhone is available on every major wireless carrier - the carrier exclusivity doesn't warp market share in Androids favour: ht
