App Infatuation.

Briitsh Gas have an iPhone app. They told me so in a press ad. It will show how my consumption has changed year on year, quarter by quarter.

Just because you can have an app, it doesn't mean you need one or that your customers' experience will be enhanced by having one.

If I'm right, I wonder if they'll start to think beyond their original assumptions and exploit another market in line with what the product does, rather than what they intended it to do. Many
