“MIT professor Hal Abelson started today’s final presentation for the school’s “Building Mobile Applications” class by saying, “A course like this couldn’t have existed ten years ago… maybe not even a year ago. Courses like this right now are unique, but in two years they’ll be completely ordinary.”

This quote is an excellent example of how many of the barriers to investing in mobile services have vanished. All web services should be thinking about how people will engage with their app via a mobile device, and the fear that a gatekeeper will say no to your vision has been substancially reduced (unless your doing VoIP… or you’re Adobe porting Flash).
