iPhone as the next mobile platform?
I’m currently in San Francisco and have a flight back to Toronto in 5 hours. I’m considering trying my luck at picking up an iPhone even though there would be no service for me in back in Canada. The reason why I want to do that is simple – I believe that iPhone will become the next mobile platform.
Apple has a history of creating infrastructure around its products and there’s no reason to think that iPhone will be any different. Developing web applications which specifically target the iPhone could, and probably will be the next big thing. As a web developer it’s a good idea to get on this early in the game.
My opinion is even further solidified by this video. Seems like Microsoft has already lost the battle. The best quote from the video is “[iPhone] doesn’t change our strategy, it doesn’t change our approach”. Great, that means Windows Mobile will stay the same and 3rd party partners will continue putting out crappy cellphones.
Windows Mobile is not just an unfriendly OS, it hates its users. I can’t stand using it.
