I don't care for the 35k iPhone App and 3k WAP site numbers that he pulled out of thin air. From my experiences, the costs are not so disparate.

iPhone vs. WAP is a poor comparison because an iPhone app and a WAP site are two different digital tactics that address completely different objectives.

Brands are not buying iPhone apps to get the same utility that is available from a WAP site. They are buying them to make their brands appear technically savvy, and to increase engagement.
