"Focus on building a community first, and worry about monetization later." I don't entirely agree with this statement. This is precisely why a lot of startups fail because they slap on the business model as an afterthought. DHH said it pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0...
I'm really curious about Android as I've been an avid Apple iPhone user since iPhone first came out. Part of me wants to switch as I love what Google is doing, but I'm hesitant as I'm so entrenched in the Apple ecosystem.
This sounds in many ways very similar to my company we believe in the lean startup philosophy. All members of our team work in different locations and we are quite successful in doing so. At the end of the day, results are the only thing that matters. If you don't pull your weight, it shows.
i've never owned an Android and while I've considered the possibility, I think this review nails it right on the head. looks like i'm sticking with iOS for the foreseeable future.
