2 + 2 = 3G iPhone - Maybe
Posted in iPhone News on March 26th, 2008 by JohnFirst iPhone, Therefore I Blog reports that there is a shortage of iPhones in New York Apple stores and upon further investigation the online store has limited stock as well. Second iPodObserver published an interview with Ken Dulaney of the research firm Gartner, who states that Apple have placed an order for 10 million 3G iPhones.
Now putting 2+2 together and jumping to conclusions, does this mean that Apple are running down stock of the iPhone in preparation for the release of a 3G version. It could be that both reports are wrong and 2+2=17. Having said that, it is part of the fun to speculate about the various rumors that pop up on the Apple front.
Microsoft and the iPhone
Posted in iPhone News on March 25th, 2008 by JohnAccording to Fortune’s Big Tech Blog Microsoft software engineers have been looking at the iPhone SDK with a view to turning a profit from the popular phone and their software.
“It’s really important for us to understand what we can bring to the iPhone,” Tom Gibbons, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Specialized Devices and Applications Group, told Fortune on Monday. “To the extent that Mac Office customers have functionality that they need in that environment, we’re actually in the process of trying to understand that now.”
The Mac platform provides substantial revenue to Microsoft, so hopefully they will find it to their advantage to develop Office applications for the iPhone.
