I’m just curious what the biggest value add is? Their freemium service is pointless so you’d have to pay to get anything remotley cool…why not just use http://www.mobbase.com?
Assuming your band has a standard wordpress/blogger site then their website is already viewable on mobile devices (and these platforms provide plugins to help with this aswell)
As long as you remember go easy on the flash and use youtube embeds, your already set.
Thoughts?
