I was trying to do this 2 years ago. After several ons and offs, it’s finally released.

If the Internet were there, this would be a viral video

I like this part:

“What about 3?

Papermill

by Bo Wang

Like I mentioned before, I also tried to make a Instapaper client. However, I dropped it because I thought any developer wise enough to build a decent client would figure out the project cannot be sustainable (there are many reasons, like the subscription fee Marco is asking for renders it totally not competitive).

Since I saw the Papermill on The Verge several weeks ago, I have always been interested in knowing how the story will develop. Now, the developer posted a look back at the first weeks. It’s sad to see someone learnt it in a hard way.

Upon reading news like Apple vs. Google: The Stakes Are Rising on the WSJ, I got this feeling that Google is pursuing too many segmentations and seems not putting enough efforts into any of them.

Kindle Fire vs. iPod touch

by Bo Wang

Does Amazon target the wrong one? Kindle Fire has more advantages against the iPod touch, which is also in the same price tier, instead of iPad.

That’s how Apple took off, how NeXT more or less failed.

Fed up with iPhone

From Pocket-Lint: Nokia: Youths are fed up with iPhone, baffled by Android

As I said in How many early adopters left?: “Targeting freshmen would be Windows phone’s best chance.”

I am intrigued

by the latest post from Marco Arment

Half a year ago, I was doing an Instapaper client for Android using Marco’s public API, but discontinued it for many reasons. In a nutshell, I can’t see how the project is going to sustain itself.

Now, it seems clearer.

UPDATED: again, not any more. Marco didn’t mean it.

They were good
