unfortunately i think joe is underestimating the power of the carriers in this one. Look at how Verizon cripples devices, and how expensive unlimited data plans are. Native app that can work without connectivity are still a huge advantage

I think this guy misses Rupert's point entirely. Rupert doesn't want the random people that are coming from search engines, or twitter to use his sites. He wants the people that click on his news sites everyday to pay a subscription. And

I have a Nokia N800, in terms of hardware is half the performance of the iPhone, and flash runs fine and I've never measured battery life, but seemed fine to me. I have to question the validity of this. Anybody else have the n800 or even

I think a good idea, would be to scrape sites like fatwallet, slickdeals, and others for content. The sad thing is I don't think the calendar view is enough to attract this type of community. Any other differentiators ?

i agree, sidereel is the best site out there for this, but the sad thing is the more popular it becomes, the less likely it will be good and have the best source and be able provide things that an 8m funded company can't. *hint hint.

I agree this would be very helpful, but I imagine they're would be a lot of effort on censoring things like personal info, other ideas. I think for example I would like to read just how the successful ones described they're accepted ideas.
