Story No. 1 – the only story!
We dive into the report that the mobile industry is now generating $1.6 trillion in revenue and accounts for nearly 2% of the global GDP. This isn’t a surprise to us and we anticipate it to grow even more but even though we are moving at an incredible clip, this industry is only just begun. Jeff and I dive into a few of the numbers behind this report and offer some ideas about where a few segments of the industry are going.
The full report can be found here.
All this and much much more – with a few detours of course.

Macadamian
When my company needed to develop a key mobile product, one that I was counting on as a new source of revenue I knew exactly who to turn to – Macadamian. They delivered on time, with incredible attention to detail and I was able to get product into customers hands faster than I thought possible. I’ve personally known them for 10 years and they do make great products even better.
