New in the sense that GoPro has opened access to them - we ride, climb, fall, swim from the persons perspective. I'd wager their perennial popularity on the youtubes drives interest/adoption in action sports

Excellent point. But it would screw (even further) with their carrier relations. The carriers hate iMessage and push notifications as it is.

Really nice site and execution. One of the real challenges with Newsstand apps is the conversion of users (downloaded the app) to paying subscribers (monthly, annually). I've seen conversion rates as low as 1% (not including churn) fo

Both arguments are correct - mobile is the future of customer engagement, and persistent engagement in mobile apps is hard. It’s especially hard because the tools we use in the physical or virtual world (CRM, messages, updates, tutorials, p

I hear what you're saying but in my family (Irish so sample size is huge) Dad, my father in-law, my kids (<5), two teenage nieces (admittedly the have access to a Mac, but its probably a 20% use case) are iPad only.
