i wrote to Chase, Visa, mastercard, amazon, ebay to create iPhone application. We all should.
Funny how apple is doing this during the cebit fair in germany which used to be one of the great intors for new technology.
SDK was ready long ago, while people here were whining about the 6 days delay, and the fact we would only get a SDK roadmap today. Well guess what? Jobs is surprising folks by pulling out more trick off his hat. Not only SDK is ready, has been ready, but lots of applications too… and let’s be sure, it also works for iPod Touch. In the next few months, Steve will drop the iTablet and the game will be over for any competition.
It’s all for you, Jooop. The world revolves around you, asshole.
BOA has it’s own icon – every bank will need to follow, or fall behind.
Very nice on my new touch.
This is big like rockets, like chemistry, like plastics. This is big like cars, like electricity, like fire… okay not as big as fire… but seriously, can you imagine anyone in 5 years not having one of these or their by then hopefully numerous descendants? Not me. This is huge… And this event is shaping up to be exactly what it needed to be!
O sweet victory!
Current non-Mac owners who have an iPhone are going to shit over all this new functionality! They are used to being treated like a POS by Microsucks and will be falling all over themselves to praise the iPhone and His Holiness.
The iPhone SDK means more to those kids than Jesus.
I am putting this day into my Calendar as day 1 of the iPhone & iPod touch changing the game in a MAJOR way.
Wow. I mean, WOW! Look at how easy, and absolutely AMAZING the apps are to create and use!
This a a very important day for Apple. For all the right reasons.
Rock on
waiting until June for v2.0 is sucky. that’s 4 months, because as everyone knows when Apple says June, they mean June 29 or 30

Perhaps he meant June 2009? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
LOL.. people will cry like babies having to wait till June. Don’t worry it will be worth it. In fact, it will be orgasmic!!! LOL
I’m just hoping Apple has ramped up the facilities in China early enough, so that they can churn out those 12 million phones before this Christmas… It’s obvious that RIM should be very worried. This thing is going to kill its growth very fast!
We need to hear one more thing, and hear it clearly: native push client for Lotus Notes. It may not have as many seats as the Exchange, but it is a close second. Very large organisations would quickly jump on this if it existed.
AND … iFund takes the Apple stock positive.
Yes, Wall Street understands money far more than tech.
@Jooop
Jooop continues to demonstrate his sense of humor that has yet to be born.
Ampar rocks.
Well, it was positive for a moment. Possibly the downward trend in the overall market is overwhelming the immediate news. . .
I saw the blurb at the end of Ars Tech keynote coverage.. what is iFund? I saw it mentioned but not really explained clearly.
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. “

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?
