The 2008 British Technology Awards winner iPhone has oodles of updates that sedate and excite the multitude of iPhone users around the globe. Latest iPhone updates range from making the hardware more user friendly to making it more of a pocket PC than a mere mobile phone that can play mean sounds.
And now, what other latest iPhone updates are being concocted for this one of a kind mobile and multimedia phone that took the world by a storm and shook a lot of Blackberry users to switch to a sleeker and sexier gadget?
Well, one update that I cannot get over with which may not be much of an update to some is that Apple officially told the world about third party applications not only for the iPhone but also for the iTouch.
Steve Jobs actually made this shout out to the Apple iPhone community back in 2007 when he placed a note on the “Apple Hot News” site. He said that they will be having and SDK sent to the developers and that they are also rooting for the development of third party applications for the iPhone.
Steve Jobs, if you only knew how much everyone else is also “rooting” (actually a better term is clamoring) for third party apps for your wonderfully designed gadget.
He continued to say that they are all very enthusiastic in having a community of developers for said third party apps for us to have bucket loads of applications to use. The iPhone, he said, is perfect for third party apps due to its powerful capacity, state of the art software and touch screen capability.
We could not agree more. The iPhone is really ripe for the picking, even from the start, for developers to go wild and offer us Apple ready applications so we can drive this mobile platform to maximize its potential and suit our daily communication, multimedia and work needs.
Steve Jobs backpedaled to the reason why it took a long time for them to finally release the SDK to the developers back in February because they were making sure that the platform will become resistant to the terrors of the non-Mac platforms – viruses, spy ware and other malicious wares.
This platform will be requiring something that Nokia also requires, a so-called “digital signature” that makes applications confirm that they are from a reputable source or developer.
Of course, the third party applications for the iPhone and the iTouch will still need to go through rigorous testing by Apple and will be controlled by them. These applications, once developed will also most likely be sold only through the iTunes hub or stores.
This and many more latest iPhone updates are being concocted by the Apple people to keep us iPhone users excited and keep our iPhone by our belt side. Although the iPhone’s somewhat limited capacity (relative to other top generation phones) keeps on tempting us to get it unlocked, it is on its way to becoming the versatile mobile phone of our wildest imagination.
