Immensely surprised that Bluetooth 4 LE wasn't brought up in this article. The potential to replicate here, aslo triangulation possibilities is significant.

Could you elaborate on your comment a bit? I have no idea what you are referring to by "replicate" and "triangulation". (obviously i am not asking for definitions but rather what they have to do with BT4LE lol).

Can someone point me to some references for the following statement? I curious to read more:

  the revenue generated per active user by top apps on iOS is four
  times higher than the equivalent number on Google Play. The 
  majority of publishers don’t even bother to release paid versions
  of their apps on Google Play, opting to monetize using IAP and ad
  support, with the latter making up the lion’s share of profits.
