Analyzing Apple's iPhone Strategy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Galen Gruman submitted infoworld's summary of Apple's grand strategy for the iPhone. He points out that the real important part of the new iPhone is the software, not the hardware. He talks about the new SDK stuff, the ad-hoc app distribution, and other stuff. It's a reasonable read if you have been ignoring the iPhone and want to know what the hype is about over this release, but doesn't break any new ground if you've been paying attention.

    AT&T pay Apple money to have the "must have phone". Apple gets the money and becomes richer. Apple uses that money to clean up more Open Source projects.

    You give the impression of never having used Cocoa.

    And you give the impression of not being particularly smart, since you confuse a programming language (Objective-C) with an API (Cocoa).

    At least give some examples of what you consider to be better!

    Just about any language that isn't intrinsically unsafe, regardless of which API you use with it, even Cocoa.
