Will I buy an iPhone Now?

Filed under: Apple — tim CARMICHAEL @ 11:33 pm

I’m sorely tempted now that we have Exchange support, but its only available on O2, and its expensive. But I really want to wait for the upcoming 3G version before I really decide whether I can commit. I also want to be able to use it on T-Mobile so I can use their great data plan. I want the better camera and I want it to run a bit faster. So, definitely maybe, some time soon, maybe June.

iPhone SDK

So its finally here.  After a long wait we have the iPhone SDK.

Actually, the most interesting thing for me is the announcement of the beta of iPhone 2.0 OS which amongst other things includes a native Exchange synchronisation client based on Microsoft ActiveSync.  this is a good move as it brings the iPhone formally into the corporate support fold without having to use ’sticky tape’ to get messages from all your different email providers.  Surprisingly, Apple implemented device wipe as well as part of the Exchange support.  this is logical in the sense that Exchange supports this functionality, but I hadn’t quite believed that Apple would go so whole hog on the Exchange integration.

Anyway, you can watch the presentation here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/keynote/
