One of the key things to remember when designing for a smart phone is

Hi David,
That's an interesting generalization. Thinking of the apps I use on my
iphone most frequently, only about a 1/3 have a two-way communication
component.
I think 2-way communication can make mobile apps interesting in a way
you wouldn't get as easily from other platforms, but I don't think
this is a requirement of mobile apps.
