This is the third installment of my MVP mini-series. The first part can be found here, and the second part here. Now that we’ve built the foundation, it’s time to start churning out product ideas. My goals are to complete enough of each idea to present either directly at our internal technology day, or to [...]

There’s a fundamental difference between an app that runs on the iPhone, and an iPhone App. An app for the iPhone performs its designed function, similar to an app written for any other platform.
