Dearest breakaway cooks,
I’ve lately been a convert to the Palm Pre. I like it better than the Iphone for three chief reasons: it feels better in the hand, it has a way cheaper plan, and you can open tons of apps simultaneously on Sprint’s fat pipe with no slowdown in speed. The only downside to the Pre, from what I can tell, is that the number of outside applications is pathetically small. The Iphone is several orders of magnitude better for outside apps.
So why in the world am I talking about this in this space?
Well, I’ve been looking over the food-related apps on the Iphone, and they’re pathetic. I’m thinking that a breakaway app might actually do well. I’ve got some ideas on things I’d want to include, but I’d love to hear from you on things you’d like to see on a phone, things you’d actually use, and wouldn’t mind spending a buck on. If any of you are an Iphone or Pre user and would download a breakaway app from me, what kinds of things would be useful to you?
Because I don’t want to put these ideas into the public sphere just yet, I would REALLY appreciate it if you could email with your ideas and opinions, and not write them in the comments below.
I’m excited to enter the mobile space! I also have some exciting news of a Vook edition of the Breakaway Japanese Kitchen that will come out soon, but more on that later. Thanks everybody.
will do eric. what’s the best email address for you? the well.com account?
Yes, thanks Jeffu!
I have some ideas, but I’m at work now and the next coupla days will be crazy. noodge me if you don’t hear from me, ok?
Thanks Ellen dear, will do!
I can’t say that I’ve found any app that I like except for Google Reader (which probably isn’t an app). I looked at some of the cooking & nutrition apps and they seem weak. I do however read your blog from my ipod Touch which is good, but you could have an iphone formatted version of your blog. I’ll email you more creative ideas.
Thanks Steph! I wonder how hard it is to iphone-ize the site/blog….
I'm head over heels in LOVE with my Droid Incredible. It does everything I need, is uber practical and super user friendly. And I was previously addicted to a blackberry.. but the HTC definitely makes a better, more reliable product. Good Luck..
