With Clear and Verizon covering major cities in the US by the end of this year and first Android 4G phone coming out soon, there must be a huge potential market for apps that take advantage of high speed wireless broadband. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm skeptical anything too extreme will take off right away, particularly since battery life is such a big problem for 3G-enabled devices at the moment. I haven't read up on 4G, so I'm not familiar with the power requirements, but I can't imagine it'll be much better. I'm taking a "wait and see" stance.

the main advantage on 4G is in the bandwidth so I would put some thoughts in the video streaming area
