Here’s just a quick bit about open source on the iPhone. We all know that the iPhone development kit agreement prevents developers from making open source iPhone applications. This means that every iPhone application has to be developed by a company, or individual. You can’t have a team of people around the world collaborate openly to make an amazing iPhone application.
As I said in my previous post, I am very pleased with my iPhone 3g purchase. It’s not perfect, but I knew the pros and cons going in. Overall the experience is what I expected it to be. However, there is one major flaw in the phone that I did not anticipate. The native calendar application is completely incapable of synchronizing with Google Calendar.
The iPhone 3g is upon us, and it’s the only thing the Interwebs will be able to talk about for the next week or two. I’m not a fan of OSX, or an Apple fanboy, so it might surprise some people that I will be waiting in line on Friday to get one of these things. Sure, there are plenty of valid criticisms of the iPhone. It’s not anywhere close to being perfect, but I still think it’s the best thing out there.
When Apple announces a new product I am typically among the first to proclaim how few rat anuses I give. Not only am I not an Apple fanboy, but I actively dislike OSX. I have also been known to make fun of people who purchase overpriced computers with far more horsepower than they will ever need. Given all that, I can not deny that I am excited about the Mac Pro. Given that it is so out of the ordinary, I think I need to explain this excitement not just to others, but also to myself. Don’t worry though, I won’t be buying one anytime soon.
