CNet. I can imagine the bloggers slamming away at the keyboard while
they are trying to enjoy the event.
Clearly the SDK was the prevalent point. The door is now wide open and
we are going to see some very cool application in the next 6 months.
I think that Exchange Support is huge. Like I have said before, I think
the Blackberry is a great device but the UI leaves much to be desired.
Integrating ActiveSync is fantastic news. I have used this on a Windows
Mobile device before and I think it works great. I have to say though
that if / when the iPhone comes to Canada, they better have better
pricing on data plans because it's going to get expensive!!
The short answer in regards to SIM Unlocking software being available is
interesting. There wasn't much detail in the answer but I am sure
something will surface in the next few days.
I am not sure how I feel about iTunes being the main distributor of the
software. Clearly they have a great mechanism for distributing media
and now software, however, I am left with a feeling of monopolistic
behavior which makes me question. Is Apple the next Microsoft?
I think everyone was expecting a 3G phone to come to the market but that
doesn't seem to be the case. That said, Apple tends to release new
Hardware between announcements like the 16GIG iPhone and the 32GIG
Touch. So stand by as they could have a 3G come out in a couple of
weeks.
Other than that - The iPhone as a gaming platform is cool. I have
played some games that use the accelerometer and they were kind of hard
to play though. You had to hunch over the phone, holding it flat in
your hand and then tilt it to control an object on the screen. That
just doesn't seem very practical. The touch interface and gaming does
seem to go together well. I am looking forward to seeing some of the
new games that are developed with this SDK.
