Re: If the iPhone SDK is a "joke", Apple will laugh all the way to the bank

Initially, Apple said no to native applicaion development. Now, they are encouraging it in a limited way. Yet it seems an army of pundits are making it look like Apple is somehow worse off than six months ago. The fact is, Apple has addressed several issues that these guys had raised at the launch of the iPhone. Instead of noting how this move will help sell more iPhones, they write about some businesses preferring their Blackberry servers to ActiveSync.

The same is true of AppleTV. Apple adds more features and these guys insists that it will fail. I just don't see how a product will sell less in the absence of new competition, once it addresses some of the concerns of its customers and incorporates major new functionality.

Apple never intended the iPhone to be a hacker's toy. There are plenty of opportunities for consumer and corporate development to address the device's initial shortcomings. This can only be positive for the iPhone.

Look Marc, I don't think iPhone's problem was or is not having a choice of several browsers. You have to admit there are more pressing priorities. Safari does the job well. As for ads popping out as I walk down the street, I'll pass. I get pissed enough with text messages and phone calls. If I want icecream, I use google maps. And I certaily don't want useless background applications cutting my battery charge down to only an hour or two. And I don't want to fill my pockets with extra batteries.

The iPhone as it is, is very close to perfect. Its features still leave me in control instead of controlling me. Exchange and Notes connectivity and corporate networking enhancements will make it indispensible in the enterprise.

The device has been out just short of six months. Be patient. Let's see what happens in a year's time.

" the market makers tested the resolve of traders, and used a leader like Apple to shake out the nervous investor, in order to bulk up with cheaper inventory"

It is very likely as well that you sold too many calls yesterday and don't want to get exercised.
