Mace on iPhone: Other Mobile Platforms Pathetic
March 12, 2008

It is as if the entire mobile phone industry was asleep at the wheel for a decade.

So says John Martellaro of The iPod Observer after interviewing Rubicon’s principal Mike Mace. Martellaro’s piece follows:

Michael Mace, formerly with Palm and Apple, noted in his blog last week that the other mobile platforms have such a primitive infrastructure that they appear pathetic compared to Apple. Apple has changed the rules of the game, and that’s the way to attack bigger, stronger competitors.

Mr. Mace is currently a principal at Rubicon Consulting. His background as a Chief Competitive Officer and VP of Product Planning at Palm and VP of Strategic Marketing at PalmSource gives him an authoritative, insider’s view of Apple’s current moves, especially regarding the iPhone SDK initiative.
