Apple is doing a far, far, far better job at attracting third party developers compared to the other phone manufacturers.
It's not just about the list of individual features, it's the combination of everything that gives Apple the advantage. You have to look at the whole package, not just the pieces.
The people criticizing the iPhone sound like clones of people who criticized the iPod. |
i thought the ipod was a great idea, but the iphone wasn't as succesful as i would have hoped. if you compare the iphone to the nokia n95, or sony ericsson k850 or p1. it's not as great as you would think. everything the iphone has, has been done to death already. music phone? sony ericsson did that with their walkman range gaming phone? nokia, the most succesful phone company tried (and are still trying) with n-gage, and it's not doing too well. now both companies have a mixture of both, and are doing well, apple haven't really phased them with the iphone, although iphone has done well. mixing a gaming device with a phone makes no sense at all, in my opinion. |
Games really weren't really that much of the focus. Here are some of the apps that have been created so far. I'm sure there will be a lot more once developers get working. It's really just the tip of the iceberg. Sure you might be able to do some of these things on other phones, but it will probably be a lot more clunky. - eBay. Pretty much everything you'd need to do from a desktop browser can be done through eBay's iPhone app: bidding, searching for items, My eBay (so you can see how the sale of your old iPhone's going), watching items, and the like. It's free, but since you're giving eBay money every time you make a transaction, we'd expect it to be. Ebay sucks, its cheap because you get sent empty boxes
- Loopt. Already a staple on a couple carriers, Loopt's location-based services allow friends to keep tabs on one another. It'll be free at the launch of the App Store. aww its a sns, ive never seen one of thoose before
- TypePad. Following some of Six Apart's other moblogging efforts, the iPhone version of its TypePad client will allow realtime uploading of photos taken with the iPhone's cam. It'll also be free. photos on a phone, wow thats new
- Associated Press. It seems the AP wants to turn us all into unpaid correspondents, offering an app that will allow users to upload footage. that can be done on any phone
- Band. A collection of virtual instruments for creating music from scratch right on the iPhone. Probably not the most effective platform for creating songs if we had to guess, but hey, cool nonetheless! Available in a "few weeks' time." my phone has a similar funtion
- MLB.com. Video baseball highlights, real-times stats and scores. great if u like baseball, which i dont
