No iPhone!

Bad news at the company meeting. Henry gave an update on the product roadmap meetings. Looks like American City Bank have decided that they don't need an iPhone application but they do want support for Windows ME. Stacy broke the news at the company meeting, you could hear the tears in his voice. Henry kind of pushed him off the stage (with a "sit the f*k down") and quickly changed the subject and then went on to talk at great length about "the scenario".

It goes something like this

• Somebody just like you has a super cool credit card (yes, much better than Platinum)
• You buy some stock, lets say in Washington Mutual
• The analytic component in the platform then whirs it cogs and come us with a suggestion "go take a train to Seattle"
• The train is auto-booked for you, but you decide to "opt in" to the train arrival notices
• As your train arrives in Seattle, a Fax is sent (your preference on the mechanism, fax now SMS later next year) to the local Taxi company
• The Taxi is dispatched and picks you up
• The driver already knows that you have a table booked Spearmint Rhino at 8.45pm, so takes you directly there, no questions asked
  

Now that would be super cool! What Henry is doing is a Vulcan Mind Melt on his how Hank Commerce makes money with this. Its not in the transactions but its the data as he explained to the Asian guy in glasses. He then had to explain it all again to that Indian guy who always falls asleep in company meetings.

How cool is that!
