Argos pop-up QR shop

Antti Ohrling leaves Blyk

We read the press release below and thought that we would add a few words to this.

I personally remember the very first time I came to contact with Antti and Blyk. I did a podcast and was interested yet dubious about the Blyk venture. But, Antii does have a certain charm and magnetic personality that wooed over GoMo News for a short time.

The article’s premise was that developers will obviously go where the money is, so therefore, Android will continue to struggle from a development perspective. This got me really thinking … could this be right? Then who are all the developers on our network? Continue reading
