SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

September 30, 2007 I had decided, a while back, not to buy an iPhone. The move of Apple to use software update to break hacked and unlocked phones is somewhat ironic, given the attitude of Jobs toward DRM , and the open source basis for OS X. So what am I going to replace my current phone with? No, but they are getting stupid.

I mean seriously developing communication, engagement, stewardship, and retention programs that leverage mail, phone, web, email, social, and mobile.
