iPhone Third-Party Software

The recent hints by Steve Jobs that Apple may allow some kind
of third-party applications to be run on the iPhone is a major
step forward in two key areas.

Firstly, I suspect there's a gazillion enterprise users who would
love to have an iPhone but need to run proprietary software on
their handhelds to tie in with their corporate systems. Steve's
announcement makes a move towards this being reality.

Secondly, Apple are smart enough to know that the first "killer
app" for phones is being able to easily make calls [!] and
moreover that the next killer apps may ormay not come from
within Cupertino - thus opening up the iPhone, in whatever form
they choose do do so - allows the thousands of independent
developers to work their magic.

Roll on WWDC and June 29th...

Consider the iPhone

The iPhone looks like a winner. Still have to have hands on before making a final judgment. Also Cingular/ATT has to keep their greedy hands off of the interface. Most of their branded phones are crippled and steer you to their websites to generate revenue... not that making money is bad but they are completely ruthless about it. I will not spend 500 to 600 dollars on a cripple ware phone. Go Apple. Keep some self control Cingular/ATT.
