At Today’s Xconomy Forum: The Future of Mobile Innovation in New England, Jeff Bussgang extracted useful tips out of his CEO Round Table. But the play of the day has to go to Rich Miner of Google; maybe the fact Rich is currently transitioning from Google Android to Google Ventures allowed him to be a bit less reserved. For me, his take away line was,
“If I was talking to someone with a great mobile app idea I’d encourage them to write the app first on the Android platform and then on another platform with a large installed user base.”
This is exactly the reason Android, iPhone, and Blackberry developers have been signing up in droves for Nemo from Everypoint. There are 1.2 billion phones already in the hands of customers today who could instantly download a Nemo app — without any permission required of either their carrier or their handset provider – far larger than iPhone’s 18 million market size.
By the way, where was Jeff Bussgang as the afternoon wore on? Something tells me he would have had tickets for Opening Day!
