Excerpt from "New developer community to soon embrace mobile marketing" Opinion Editorial piece in Mobile Marketer, November 8, 2011

"Mobile marketing for the masses
Challenges that have traditionally plagued mobile content marketers of all sizes and budgets are being quickly overcome.

Ongoing fragmentation among device types, platforms and data plans, not to mention expense, skill set and time to market, are now being addressed by accessible, easy-to-use, cross-platform solutions made available via the Internet. And carriers are taking note.

App Studio is being offered to millions of subscribers and features convenient SMS/app creation payment bundling for around $15 per month via the subscriber phone bill.
