Comment on Why video chat? Why not? by Rich
Stacey, I think you're right when you say "video chat isn’t for talking on the phone." That's why landline videophones were never popular. And I think you're also right when you say "video is for those other moments when a moving picture matters."

Apple COO Hints At Cheaper iPhone, Saying, We Don't Want To Be For "Just The Rich" (AAPL)
Apple COO Tim Cook strongly suggested we will see a cheaper iPhone in the near future in an interview with Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi.
Cook says Apple is doing "clever things" to attack the prepaid market, because he doesn't want Apple to be "for everyone," not "just for the rich." Cook also recognizes "price is big factor in the prepaid market," but Apple is not "ceding any market."
He also says Apple has been driving into China which is "a classic prepaid market."
Add it all up, and sure sounds like Apple is ready to drop some sort of cheaper phone to open up the markets it can address.
One other thing of note from Sacconaghi: He says Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said Apple would not let carriers dictate terms, which Sacconaghi says reinforces, "the notion that Apple might be willing to act to disintermediate carriers with a soft-SIM."

Four Lessons From Facebook That Will Make You Rich
Say what you will about Facebook and about how it’s a place for MySpace refugees, but Mark Zuckerberg is a billionaire. He didn’t get there because he wanted to get successful and then sell out. This social media maven got to where he’s at right now because of four distinct things: long-term thinking, risky behavior, tough skin, and adaptability. And you can too.
Lesson One: Long-Term Thinking
Focusing on the tasks of the day is an important goal, to be sure. But losing sight of the bigger picture of your company can lead to trouble. From the beginning of your business, you need to focus on what you want to do five or ten years down the road. The decisions you make today will affect that future, but keeping your eyes only on the pile of work before you is not necessary going to help you with a long-term plan.
To adjust your thinking, you will want to create a mission statement or a description of what you want your business to look like in a decade. With each decision you make or action you take during the day, ask yourself whether it is helping to support that long-term goal. If not, it’s time to reassess what you’re doing and what you should be doing instead to support your future.
Lesson Two: Risky Behavior
Facebook started out as a way to connect college students, not as necessarily a way to create a billion dollar social network. And yet, that’s exactly what it did. By taking a risk and fulfilling a seen need, Facebook could have been just another Internet tool that didn’t quite make it in the sea of so many other great ideas.
Instead, Facebook’s founders took a risk and they continue to take risks with advertising, games, profile changes, privacy setting changes, and more. Facebook is a growing and breathing website. It’s not static and it responds to the long-term goals and visions of the users and the developers. Taking these risks pays off in the long run, even if you don’t get the best feedback at first….
Lesson Three: Tough Skin
And that’s why another less of Facebook is to have tough skin. The truth is that there will always be someone out there that doesn’t agree with what you do. They will bash you on the message boards and they will tell everyone they know that you are doing something that’s absolutely crazy or stupid, or both. While you might think you need to change things back to the way they were before the criticism, stop before you do something like that.
When you’re getting attention for your company, any sort of attention, it means that people are looking at you and what you do. Though criticism might be something to consider when you are thinking of changes, you can’t listen to everyone and change whenever someone whines. What you can do is consider what you hear and then decide whether YOU agree with it. If not, move on. The haters will too.
Lesson Four: Adaptability
Finally, and this should come as no surprise, there are some things you need to do with your business in order to stay caught up with the times and with your users. Being able to adapt to the needs of your audience is paramount to long-term success. Notice that people use a certain feature? Make it better. Notice that people never use something else? Get rid of it. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you should change everything when people change their minds, but you should adjust to the needs of the majority of your customers. That will get you noticed as a company that listens.
The lessons of Facebook continue on as the website begins to move into a new era where businesses use the site as a marketing tool. Times are changing, and so can you when it comes to how you manage your business.

Medialets Rides iAd Wave, Offers Rich Media Tools
Medialets has found that competing against iAd can be a good thing. The company told me its rich media mobile ads have increased 19 times since April, when Apple announced iAd and shined a light on the format. Now the New York start-up is looking to offer its tools to agencies and in-house creative teams to help keep the rich media ad wave going.
