and AN, maybe you could come back with something sustantive, like “Most apps on the iPhone are just noise.”

In that case, you might have something, seeing that recent surveys indicate that only 15,000 out of over 65,000 apps available have been downloaded at all.

Then, I could at least come back with, yeah, but if you look at the built-in apps, Apple’s done a better job of making each one of them useful. And then, you could say… well, you get the idea.

Which brings me back to flu and just a reminder that if you think it’s hard to find good engineers, the really hard part is coming up with a product that will appeal to consumers. You’ve got a great idea, right?

Yep, in my experience, the most talented folks have pretty diverse technical backgrounds and can pretty much work on anything. Creating a pigeon hole and then lookly soley for those pigeons is fairly brain dead thinking in my estimation.

This isn’t to say that a guy who has a narrow skillset on his resume doesn’t have the capability to work on things outside of that, just that the hiring team needs to work that much harder to make the determination if he/she will be able to excel.

Not apps, my friend, not apps. And that includes the built-in apps as well.

It’ll pay the bills, but the iPhone and Blackberry pretty much ate everybody else’s lunch. Most apps on other phones are just noise. If you’re lucky, you’re working on something that competes with those (Palm Pre comes to mind). If not, you better send your resume over to flu.
