How do you have a burn rate of only $18,500/mo with seven (apparently) full-time employees? Is that burn rate net of some kind of revenue, or are your seven employees making an average annual salary of about $31K each? Even for TN that seems awfully low.
As a point of reference, in SV a ballpark OPEX for 7 employees in a startup would be $80-90K.

Sencha Touch is free now (not sure when that happened). And the multi-hundred kb framework isn't much of an issue since it's bundled up in the native download and always local to the device.
Love it - I find myself emailing myself notes and links several times a day, and this is a big time saver.
Two suggestions:
1) make a Chrome and FF browser extension for it, so you can get a first-class button on the browser (or be in the right-click menu). Bookmarklets are quick and easy, but I don't display my bookmarks bar in Chrome, so I have to go hunt for it. By contrast, my Bit.ly chrome extension has a cute little yellow fish button at the top of my browser all the time, and so gets mindshare and use every day.
2) The notes are sent without a subject line. Would recommend a subject something like "[cctome] First 30 or so characters of note..."

Wow. That one article (http://uxmovement.com/forms/left-search-buttons-perform-fast...), along with his dogmatic replies there, made me delete the bookmark I just created for his site. It's one thing to come off as a jerk on the internet, but another thing altogether to be so completely misguided on the layout of a simple search form.

Q1 2011 revenues were down 4%, but since the paywall didn't launch until mid-March, we'll have to wait until the next quarterly to learn the full early results of the change.
Interestingly, Google should still be counting those who click through to a NYTimes article, hit the paywall, and bounce. So the 40% drop is the result of 1) users not clicking NYTimes links anymore, or 2) fewer NYTimes links being presented to users, perhaps due to a drop in SERPs.
I'm a datapoint of only one, but #1 above certainly applies in my case. I find myself much less likely to click through, especially on my mobile device, because I'm annoyed when I find myself above the monthly free limit. After hitting the limit a couple of months, I just stop clicking thru in the first place.
