   AND … iFund takes the Apple stock positive.

   Yes, Wall Street understands money far more than tech.

   Well, it was positive for a moment. Possibly the downward trend in the overall market is overwhelming the immediate news. . .

   I can hear the Microsoft shill blogging now:

   “About the iPhone SDK introducted today by Apple.

   WHAT, NO ANTI-Gravity. NOTHING to see here. Move along.

   Major flop!!! I cannot download it in Alaska so thats a deal killer for me. And it will not work on my Windows Mobile phone. Apple is DOOMED I tell you. Sell your stock now. “

   And now back to reality!!

   I have to say . . . I think this was the most ground-shifting news day Apple has had since they announced the iPhone.

   $100 million in venture capital from Kleiner Perkins, presumably for entrepreneurs who want to do something integrated with the iPhone.

   Steve says they won’t stop a VOIP over wi-fi app. Just can’t use cell.

   I work for a Canadian cell phone company on CDMA. Although we don’t have the iPhone here yet, we’re screwed when we do. This is a huge bomb. Licensing ActiveSync…RIM should be shaking. Everyone else, well, they’re already toast. I have been reserved about the iPhone due to corporate but this answers everything they needed to do. And is why Apple rocks and I will never sell my shares.

    I truly hope Apple won’t stop VOIP. They did their best to sidestep the issue:

    “They want push contacts, global address list, Cisco IPsec VPN, they want authentication and certs, enterprise class WiFi (WPA2 / 802.1x), security policies, enterprise configuration tools, and they want remote wipe.”

    Damn! I guess nobody wants free calls via iChat/VOIP?

    Hey MDN, I sent you a ComputerWorld story last Friday about Steve Ballmer not refuting the idea that Apple would license the Exchange APIs from MS, and I said that it would relate to today’s event. But you chose not to run it. It was prescient, damn it. I want my 15 seconds of fame.

    Whoa. I want an ipod Touch. Not now, mind you, but in 4 months would be nice.

    @ElderNorm:

    Um, we in the frozen wasteland have had AT&T;since December. When you see the actual Microsoft shill, remind him that yes, he CAN download it in Alaska.

    @Jeremy Avalon,

    Shhhhh! Steve Ballmer does not want people to know that!!

    PS. He is also quite happy with selling Windows Mobile to a million or two phones. And besides, the iPhone does not have a key board, which makes it not very nice for business. Right? ROFLOL.

    I’d like to hear from someone who has used a Blackberry and an iPhone extensively as to how good the keyboard is. I am so fast on the BB I cannot imagine a virtual keyboard for daily use. Any diehard Crackberry fans care to comment?

    ChrissyOne: The iPhone SDK means more to those kids than Jesus.

    Does this mean I’m going to have to burn the Beatle tracks in my iPod now?

    Tegenev is right: this is a seismic event. I hope video gets posted soon.
