1. Background
   1. IPhone is being deployed or tested by 80% of Fortune 500 Companies
   2. Mobile initiatives are becoming more popular, terrible small scale data given by Soasta.

   1. Challenges
      1. Traditional dev practices incompatible with mobile
      2. Apps require constant refinement to tune the user experience
      3. Rapid change requires rapid development and deployment
      4. Mostly sound like good practice, not challenges!
   2. Recommendations
      1. Collaborate. Speak to users. Really. How revolutionary!
      2. Add UX testing to your skillset
         1. Could use persona's and tours
      3. Analyse how apps are used in production by real users
      4. Adopt agile. Lets say, be agile or work with agility.
