Why bloggers and journalists are always banging on about the iPhone
Stuart Dredge writes…
If a new mobile phone can play music, then it must be an iPhone rival. Why? Well, because we say so. That’s ‘we’ as in bloggers and journalists, of course. To someone reading Tech Digest, other gadget blogs, or even mainstream newspapers, it must seem like every new phone gets slapped with the iPhone comparison.
Sony Ericsson reveals its iPhone-busting W960 Walkman phone
The other big announcement from Sony Ericsson's Berlin product launch was two new Walkman music phones, the W910 and the W960. The latter is the one to get excited about, in my opinion.
iTweetr: the first Twitter app for iPhone
Steve Jobs didn’t stop to mention micro-blogging in his keynote at this week’s Apple WWDC conference. But he did reveal that Web 2.0 developers will be able to create applications for the iPhone, which should ensure Twitter makes it onto Apple’s phone sooner rather than later.
Apple could face iPhone shortages for 1-2 months after launch
When a doctor from the Supply Chain Management Institute says a new gadget is likely to suffer shortages, you tend to believe him. So Dr Simon Croom’s warning that Apple is likely to suffer serious supply issues in its first couple of months on sale shouldn’t be disregarded.

Apple iPhone application development: can't do right by some
Thanks to the amount of hype and spin surrounding the iPhone, it seems that, when it comes to third party applications, Apple can’t do right by some people.
Apple were criticised right from the start when it looked as if they wouldn’t offer any kind of third-party application support for the iPhone.
Now that their initial solution has been unveiled – Web 2.0 and AJAX – they’re being slated again. Pick a derogatory word about Apple’s solution and it’s probably been used against them.
It seems few people stop to consider that this is Apple’s first-generation iPhone. As with the first Apple TV, the first iPod, the first Mac, the first iMac, or the first MacBook Pro, it will have first-generation functionality.
Everyone knows that future generations of the iPhone will feature more functionality. Take a look at the evolution of the iPod, now imagine what an iPhone could look like in five years’ time.

iPhone opens up to developers via current web standards: No complicated SDK needed
Andy Merrett writes…
Developers have been waiting for some time to find out exactly if and how they can create applications for the iPhone – and yesterday Steve Jobs told them.
At his opening Keynote speech to the World Wide Developers’ Conference, he made it clear that the iPhone would handle applications, and they’d all run using Web 2.0 and AJAX technologies via the updated version of the Safari web browser.
I’ve already written that developers may now take notice of Safari because of the iPhone, and this effectively seals the deal.
