Is the iPhone the future platform of mobile computing?
So, I agree that the iPhone is awesome, but is it really worth all these articles flowing through to my RSS reader? I was on the fence, until I read the following comment left under this flickr photo:
“This is an incredible phone . . . imagine how fast apps will be created! This is MacOS X in a phone!!”
LIGHT BULB! I suddenly remembered how much I’ve been moaining about the difficulty to put useful apps on your cellphone, even to the point of touting the Qtopia Greenphone. Could this be the first mobile platform to gain traction in “the community”? If it does gain traction in that sense, will we be able to load our own non-Apple DRMed media software?
I’m excited – and skeptical. Maybe the best solution is to throw a linux distro on there!
By the way, that size comparison app in the photo looks pretty cool.
