Is iPhone out of business?

At the Worldwide Developer Conference on June 11 2007, Steve Jobs paved the way for the June 29 delivery of iPhone by telling a crowd of some 4,000 that where developers are concerned, iPhone is a handheld Safari browser. "You don’t even need an SDK," Steve said before he invoked the magic phrase "AJAX and Web 2.0," to let the press know that iPhone is open to all applications that take advantage of these state of the art paradigms. Steve cited Salesforce.com as the exemplar of the type of Web-based application one would run on an iPhone.

That sounds pretty until you realize that of all the ways to write and package software, none is less suited to mobile use than a Web application.

lol GUTTED,
it just so happens that Apple software (IE. OSX) has to be developed in an extremely retarded way due to the fact the necessary information isn't attainable, so in a nutshell, apple got gutted

well...seeing as AT&T (Cingular) just launched a huge deal with iPhone I'd hope not

. They are scheduing release (to my knowledge) for late this month so let us hope that its not the biggest srew up in mobile history.

Yes true true. There is a lot of TV commercial and media hype on the thing. It kinda makes me laugh.

how else do you think they survived this far? they always overhype their stuff in hopes that uneducated losers will buy their products...... and seeing how many clicks go to an apple store at once to get a new ipod or something.......... all the money they make is from some overhyped product

i mean a mess of my skater friends well actually..... friends in general break their ipods every couple months to a year and i keep telling them not to bother buying another one and just get a cheapo mp3 player and get a bigger memory card...... since they're solid state, they wont break as easily when they beef it as compared to the microdrives in ipods.....

but knowing them they still try to cling to the half eaten apple for some reason and are like dude an ipod is better than an mp3 player........ and im like right here like yea..... how are they better? then they shut up and walk away

it also has bigger storage space and not having to be bound to itunes is really nice......

im pretty sure apple couldve made an ipod the size of the shuffle with larger capacity than the nano with more durability for around 150 or so....... but decided to use cheaper stuff and push up the price.......

they're trying to just make money off you, if you want stability just get linux! same thing but better and free
