Four big "ifs" of iPhone

Apple-blue Apple’s iPhone has certainly received an intense amount of FREE advertisement, something no other device has had in recent memory.  We have all been feeding of of rumors and speculation but the reality check is about to come.  In less than 20 days, folks will be lining up to purchase the super hyped iPhone.  Stan asked in a recent article that with the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference starting very soon, will it’s focus be on Leopard or the iPhone? I think he believes the focus will be on the iPhone and that there are four major issues: one for developers and three for consumers. 

In part, Stan said:

The four big “ifs” of the upcoming iPhone arise out of Apple’s traditional obsession of keeping tight control over its product platforms. The iPhone is entering a huge market where pretty much everything is open, interchangeable and has been to a great degree been commoditised in favor of the consumer. Having played with one briefly at a Macworld media audience, I can say that the iPhone is a captivating device. However, playing with an iPhone is not the same as living with one.

Near the end, he says:

For mobile developers, however, the request by Steve Jobs to be patient while the company works to find a way to enable third party development will wear thin if Apple keeps the iPhone platform closed for too long. This is one market where there are plenty of fish in the sea.

It is an interesting take on what is to come …. you can read the full article here at iTWire

  • "playing with an iPhone is not the same as living with one."

    Very true. I think a lot of us have taken that for granted. We hear that so-and-so played with an iPhone and loved it, but that's not the true test.

    Great article, thanks!
