More girls aged 18-24 do you for blackberrys but there's nothing too solid to base marketing on within that demographic. Personally I'd say just gather information from as many people from as many people from as many walks of life as possible would be the best thing to do. Target markets when it comes to mobiles has recently been a LOT more difficult to pin point. Any app is probably going to be mass market thing. Aim it at everybody.. Maybe America is different.

People are always going to have phones, people are probably always going to use those phones to network, people are always going to have se sort of banter activity on said phone. Lizmans idea isn't too slow for the market, it's actually years a head. If he can keep up with what's popular in the market and have a solid social network base.. There's plenty of room for innovation when it comes to it.

I Had That Idea In 2005. I'm Like James Cameron In That Way
Also Don't Tell Me About Market Research Especially When It Comes To Phones
That Shit'll Explode My Heart Tbh. I Know The Phone Market VERY WELL. Just Keep Throwing Me Suggestions Or Questions On The Topic. NO MARKET RESEARCH For Fuck Sake.... *Pant* *Pant*...

The Blackberry is largely dead.

Yeah everyone in my college has iPhone bb or HTC. But everybody I know outside college have an iPhone and there's only a few (all girls) that have a blackberry. A couple with the HTC. When I go to London everywhere I look people have an iPhone (this doesn't include Vit) it's deffinetly a mass market thing more than a specific demographic.

I Don't Have An iPhone And I Never had A Blackberry In My Life
Thats Beside The Point Though. As 'This' Is A 'mass market thing', My Point Is Validated Due To The Fact Of Our Wide Cross Platform Penetration And Our Potential Reach To Uh EVERYBODY. Especially Since EVERYBODY (Smart Device; No Feature Phone) Has Either An Android Device (Majority Actually), An iPhone Or A Linux/QT Operating System.
