Looking to Prove John Wrong -

In reference to jQTouch:

But the demos show just how far short even best-of-breed iPhone web apps fall compared to native apps

The jqtouch demos are kind of weak in regards to actual performance—especially the swipe guestures. But I’m convinced that I can create a top-class iPhone app for Spendly with web technologies. While this won’t happen with the Alpha or Beta tests, I’m hoping our launch in Mar/Apr of 2010 will include an iPhone web app. Local storage and all.

The 4-day Rule

A rule to live by: When you find something that you want to buy—sometimes even thinking you need to have it right now—stop and wait. Wait 4 days before you allow yourself to buy the item. You’ll probably find that after 4 days, it’s more obvious that you don’t need it.
