The video replay of the Apple WWDC (WorldWide Developers Conference) presentation today is on the Apple web site. The entire presentation was based on the next iteration of the iPhone: a 2.0 software upgrade for existing iPhones and the new 3G iPhone coming July 11. The new 3G iPhone will now access the much faster 3G (wireless/Internet) network at twice the speed and sell for half the price of the original phone!
The WWDC conference is for the 5,200 software developers who came to learn how to write third-party applications for the new iPhone -- and see an introduction (not included on this video) to the next iteration of OS X called Snow Leopard. So, some of this gets a bit technical but there are two reasons it is still worth watching:
1. In explaining to the software developers the features of the new iPhone and 2.0 software you get to see what the phone will do.
2. You get to marvel at the way Apple does business. These presentations that Apple does at WWCD and the MacWorld conference every year are legendary for their polish and presentation. Just amazing. For anyone who has to present information to others, Apple is the Gold Standard.
Apple has made a huge push into what's called the "Enterprise" market -- seeking to get huge corporations to consider buying iPhones instead of Blackberries or other smart phones for their employees. The original iPhone was not equipped to do that because it wouldn't link with the existing network systems used in corporate America. The new version is corporate-ready. Thirty-five percent of the Fortune 500 companies have been testing the new iPhone for corporate/network use and the results have been uniformly positive.
The 2.0 software and the new 3G phone are really amazing. You can see the video here.

ReplyDeleteHa ha! Atta girl. You and several million others!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I waited -- but you've had the pleasure of using yours for a year, so not a bad deal. Don't know if you'll have time to watch the whole WWDC conference playback -- if not, there's plenty in the news about the new phone. Really is pretty cool.
