Okay, I’ve now officially read all 500 or so of your emails on mobile devices following up on Friday evenings request for your thoughts and comments. The results still track pretty closely with the summary I posted last night. But I really cannot tell you how helpful these emails are. I’m always surprised — perhaps more overwhelmed than surprised, but it’s a powerful feeling — when I dig in with readers to get leads and responses to a question like this. So, many thanks.
Before I go any further, if you haven’t sent us your thoughts already, we really, really want to hear from you about this. Here’s the post describing what we want to know. If you haven’t already please give it a look.
The gist remains heavy interest in an iPhone app, very limited interest in a Kindle edition, even among Kindle enthusiasts and a lot of interesting details about different kinds of interest on different platforms. We’ve also gotten a lot of good detail and insight on the split between iPhone users who just want a version of the site that’s optimized for the iPhone browser vs. those who have really bought into and gotten into the app concept and aesthetic.
Now, I know I started this conversation when most of you are or were getting some downtime over the weekend. So if you’re just checking in now, I’d really appreciate and profit from your feedback. We’re trying to get a sense of how you use your mobile device, if you have one and how you’d like to read TPM on one of them, if you would.
If you want to help out, here’s the original post, soliciting your preferences and experiences. And here’s a summary of what we’d heard as of last night. Please keep the emails coming. It’s very, very helpful.
