There’s been a lot of debate on the web and in the blogs over mobile apps and which are better: native device-driven apps, or its counterpart, mobile web apps. I’ve always thought this to be a totally fair question, because they both offer real benefits to the user and sometimes serious drawbacks for developers.

It’s a prototype iPhone app I’m calling Postcard, and I think it’s a big step towards addressing one of our customers’ most pressing problems.

Hi Constant Contact,
How can we change the text fields on the second screen of the Join My List app? I’d like to add fields that are important to us and eliminate some of the others we don’t care about and therefore would prefer our subscribers not be asked.
