However, what I'd like to see is a SmartPhone without a $35 to $40 fee to connect to the Internet. Rita blogging at The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide I think larger letters are a good idea.

It means you don't have to pull out your reading glasses. Well, an app that makes the words bigger does provide value. It means you don’t have to pull out your reading glasses.

He may well believe that the current app that he's released will do that, but, if true, that would be a wrong-headed strategy. The app needs to provide the value regardless of Reed's brand.. Suzanne,

Technology, eg an iPhone app, can’t help Reed “..maintain his old image or give him a new one.” He may well believe that the current app that he’s released will do that, but, if true, that would be a wrong-headed strategy. The app needs to provide the value regardless of Reed’s brand..

Yes good examples although I think Fanfarlo are over-hyped already. The Music Business belongs to the musicians and bands – they just haven’t realized it yet..

As far as the decade goes, many individual musicians and groups did not grasp the opportunities, but others embraced it and thrived - Pink Martini (doing what they do best and expanding their brand), Ari Hest (52 Weeks experiment), Fanfarlo (growing with TopSpin), Sufjan Stevens (staying indie), The Decemberists (remember the guitar challenge with Colbert?). And there's more. The Music Business is another story, it lost out on this decade for sure. If anything, this App might just make people say, “Whatever” and then move on.
