That way it's a useful device in many ways. I have no need for a mediocre cellphone locked to a carrier. My approach will be to get an iPod Touch for the apps.

Berry Sat, 06 Jun 2009 07:46:21 +0000 http://www.newwineconsumer.com/?p=242#comment-78 I would love an iPhone. It is the future of all phones. ATT, on the other hand, does not get reception where I live, smack dab in the middle of Sonoma Valley and couple that with the atrocious customer service and I will get one when Verizon offers one. The sad truth is that I may need to get one just for the mobile apps.. a quandary for sure. I would love an iPhone. It is the future of all phones.

It's true that the iPhone doesn't have tremendous market saturation as of yet, but it does account for something close to 50% of all mobile browsing. The company I work with, The Visionaire Group, has found that it's important to have both an iPhone app AND an iPhone-geared mobile site since it's easy to get lost in the App Store and a brand wants to be accessible for all that mobile browsing traffic as well. Looking at a winery's iPhone App itself, for example, of course one of the most relevant factors in its design should be adding value to a user's experience...much like Paul's example. You're not just hawking wine, you start with value in mind for the consumer and go from there. Real quick support here for Paul’s comment about why they’re focusing almost exclusively on the iPhone.
