Consultants are known for the work that they do, and this often means the work they don't do. With a mission statement and business plan, they can decide if a certain job is worth it. Sometimes the short-term gain in income becomes a long-term loss in reputation. - Why Publishers Should Treat iPad With Optimism - And Caution | paidContent:UK
But a key problem may prove to be the sheer number of applications available for the iPad. Even the biggest brands will have difficultly surfacing their apps in a market of the 300,000 titles forecast by the end of the year. The fight for what may be just around $5 ARPU per month will be fierce. - » GamesThatGive: You Play. We Donate. Charities Win. thinkingaboutmedia.com

The great thing about an application like this isn’t that it has longevity, or that it’s the most engaging application you’ve ever used: It’s great for a one-time use and is worth a laugh with all your friends. The fact that they also skewer your face much worse if you have smoked or done drugs means it does a small service, in a way. I did find a lot of people on the comment boards stating that they were so put off by their first result that they went back in and took out all the drinking and smoking and they still looked terrible. It seemed a bit like a reason to keep smoking to me, but an application that rouses that kind of behavior is truly an application worth trying, to me.
