I think you need a little iPod, apple love. I'm sure if you go down to the apple store, you can get an iHug.
After you trade in your proven blackberry and working PC of course.
If the iPhone, or the SDK, or Apple, or FSJ, or anything isn't up to your high personal standards, then don't let the door hit you in the ass! Thanks for your opinion... go write your own blog and contribute instead of bitching about how disgusted you are.
you mac fanboys are like obama's cheerleaders... nothing's new but all pretty speeches from jobs
Too bad we still can't buy an iPhone here without giving up our warranty and without paying less than $200 a month in data fees, and until they either make a CDMA iPhone or Telus switches over to GSM, we probably never will. Rogers isn't about to give up their ridiculously overpriced data fees if they're the only option.
I'm glad you bring up the original Mac from 1984... as I recall, that big "world change" that the Mac caused... it died. That's why it's taken Mac took 20 years to make any kind of comeback and why Microsoft had to bail you out in the 90's.

What's the big deal? Apple just announced that sometime in the summer, the iPhone will finally be able to catch up to basic communications tasks that were possible with phones that are now 3-4 years old. Where is MMS? Where is copy paste? Where is Bluetooth file transfer? Where is Video camera? Where is freakin 3G?!
This is not anti-fanboyism, this is reality. I own an iPhone... I don't hate the device, but I am sick of all this fellating of Steve Jobs and co.
Apple's gonna need a lot more bullets to make all 'dem others dead.
Why?
Well this phone for the first time put a serious number of surfers on the net. If enough people now really use the net for surfing then things are changing.
Why would I MMS when I can IM, VOIP, Email, etc. Besides with a complete software stack a 10 year-old could up with something better then MMS. It was always a kludge.
Will we see 3G? Yes, as quick as Apple can provide. Ok so initially the battery life was the issue and Apple wanted iPod converts, who didn't want only a few hours music. What's changed now? First battery life is much improved with new 3G chipsets, two iPhone is a brand in itself with it's own credibility and finally and importantly Apple's good friends the revenue sharing Telcos must be wetting themselves over the prospect.
Several years ago Telcos paid excessive or even heinous amounts for 3G band-width. Which unfortunately none of us have used? How do we know this? The google figures on 50 times more iPhones on the net than 6 years of other types of smart phones or even the common-sense that my 9 year old was happy using my iPhone in less then 3 minutes.
Imagine I've got all this overpaid 3G band-width, I am worried about VOIP growth and Debt is getting dearer (if you are modern telco you don't need to imagine this has been your life for the past 6 months). Suddenly everyone and there dog wants to use something I already own and don't need to invest heavily in (yes SMS, MMS, etc were all carrier driven and cost money to build and maintain. Debt is dear now so investment in the next money generating item is not as realistic nor appealing. iPhone uses band-width, generates revenue, then they can build the next thing with cash not debt.)
On your other points. Yep all valid. I myself want to search contacts. So we've already seen programs for that, multi-exposure camera programs, etc. Since someone has ported Apache it seems likely a bluetooth file may be easy (if that part is included in the toolkit.) but I am certain so maybe secure ftp or secure copy over IP will be just as good probably something even easier is just waiting to be invented and delivered.
Compared to Android the platform already exists and in spite of the question I saw somewhere over there being only one platform for someone building with the iPhone SDK anyone looking at a complete App that's easier. Less QA, more specifics, it's worth using cool features (e.g. touch, accelerometers, etc).
Androids biggest challenge could well be it's ubiquity. Lots of different platforms taking small market share and no one ever taking full advantage of any one platforms specific advantages. With iPhone we already know there will likely be least 10 Million customer within a year.
Finally the sense in Apple taking it too the office is very important. iPhones are on lots of peoples hips but taking it into the office as your only phone is even more attractive.
Also the phone companies would like to see some of there big corporate customers also using the 3G band-width. If the SDK is a hit and corporations start enabling their staff with Apps built on the iPhone imagine the additional revenue a phone company can earn when I not in the office or home Wi-fi networks but I am still got the corporate applications delivering for me.
FSJ may well write much tongue in cheek but well executed this has real potential to be a far reaching change.
I also wonder how many extra macs will get sold just to develop applications these apps and run the software in the corporate data-centre.
How perceptions have changed - not a single reporter or author seems to have questioned the use of Macs to develop or run this enterprise software.
In fact the title could be will iPhone make the XServe a success??? Will the iPhone SDK see Macs back in the corporate landscape?
Nope.
And what is its marketshare again? Rome wasn't built in a day. Give Apple time, after all this is 1.0 for them in a whole new marketspace. With the SDK, you'll now get MMS and copy/paste. 3g and video are coming too. keep your pants on.
IFAIL, that's what it should be called
In other words, it's a lot of hype, but Microsoft will win out in the end?
You think maybe they're not coming after all?
I think this little factoid answers your query how many months it took crapple to "zoom" past anyone. Answer = 0, since they're still at the bottom of the list.
Brilliant!
I'd be coding now, but Apple's dev server has dropped to its knees (and not in a good way). Stupid WebObjects...
"[Flash Player] too slow to be useful" on the iPhone.
[Flash Lite] "not capable of being used with the Web."
-The Real "Steve Jobs"
it was EL Jobso who provided some seed capital for the initial development of PostScript and Adobe.
Apple was the first company to release a PostScript laser printer if I remember correctly.
I think you will find a fair bit of cross shareholding between the 2 companies these days.
PS. Keep on crankin' dude.
You do. And it cost $5,000 at the time!
The Three Big As: Apple, Amazon, Adobe
Bill Gates
In the modern world, there is more to the world than north america. a whole lot more . and till you realise that can you make statements that makes sense
"People can build iApps to sell on iTunes and give us 30% of their iMoney."
Oh, and nice work getting this out over a year after the iPhone announcement. Meanwhile Google and Apple have been working on iApps for iYears.
Isn't it about time you stopped third parties from writing Mac apps altogether? Allowing that was a bigger mistake than hiring Sculley.
"Apple iPhone applications will be available through Apple Store and Apple will take only 30% of revenues and developers will be able to keep 70%, what is much more than in case of Microsoft-supported Handango store that is ripping off developers and thus Windows Mobile developers instead of 70% developers get 30 to 40% of sales only".
If this is Steve Jobs, good for him. There's nothing wrong with a little justified confidence.

You are Friggin' Iron Man! Kill all these companies, so people stop bying their crap by accident.

ah... priceless... particularly the discussion that ensued... made me laugh out loud...
FSJ darling, lots of crackheads feel like that too. Your illusion is just based on a little slicker hardware than their crack pipes.
Good luck with iPhone 2.0 and the SDK. You're the man even without the delusions of grandeur.

NO MASH-UPS???!!!?? Sandbox???
We'll soon see about that ....
If you have a smartphone and it's not an iphone and your happy, this will mean nothing to you. People used Commodore computers (not a completely fair comparison since Commodore actually sold a lot of comptuers unlike the other smartphone guys)... and even Apple IIs... for years. I suppose they might have been happy. But that is not the future...
Windows Mobile, and RIM and Zune and Palm and maybe Symbian have a secure future in this world.... as vehicles for cult worship.... and interesting Wikipedia articles. Just like Altair, Kaypro, Atari, Osborne.
Until I actually SEE an Kindle in the wild, I'm not sure it can die. It has live first.
Quote: "BlackBerry is dead. Microsoft is dead. Windows Mobile is dead. Amazon is dead. Kindle is dead. Nokia is dead. Motorola was already dead but now they are even more dead. Google's Android is dead. Samsung is dead. LG is dead. Sony is dead. UTStarcom is dead."..."UPDATE: In the list of the dead up above I forgot to mention Palm and Adobe. They are both also dead. So dead, in fact, that I forgot to mention them"
Definitely negative :)
thanks you FSJ, thank you for this, your latest iPost.

LOOL, you rock Steve
well played, my liege. well played. now stand back and watch da beeeyotches fall.
I have a friggin' movie out May 2-----have you heard of it?
That's 70% increase in revenues, amazing ROI and it is green to boot because you don't have use up a single carbon credit of your own. Let them burn their own CDs, time and carbon credits while improving your bottom line.
Best,
ZX80 upgraded to ZX81
Imagine the smile on Al's face. No, wait, tell us about his smile next time he shows up at the Board meeting.
Can I have cut and paste on my iPhone.....
Even though it was a pretty amazing announcement.
But then, these days, who does?
One word: Rust
I literally Laughed Out Loud!
The cool ./ spooky part is: you might be right fake Steve, this one is BIG!
My take on it:

DOH.
PS- that movie trailer KICKS butt.
Namaste.

..still laughing.
You're grasp of English grammar "disgustings" me.
Go MMS IT-support on your Blackberry or something. Trolltard
Right next to the guys doing the GPS stuff. Oh wait.
I'd expect the 3G version around the time the SDK goes out of beta and appears at the WWDC in June. Right?
you silly Americans
Are the Germans still kicking your cold asses over that factory closing? I hope so!
Words of the highlander.
I love you Stevie.
Both silver, of course. And he doesn't park in the handicapped spaces anymore.
