Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
It’s July 17th, 2007 at 04:44M Pacific Time, and Apple Store is closed for Product Updates.
I was still wide awake, and saw this on the Apple Online Store. Not sure what is going on. Maybe it’s the long awaited iPhone nano for CDMA system. Wait, it might be the iPhone extreme™!
Who knows, it could be the new iMac.

I was listening to TWiT Podcast (take that, Leo Laporte and your “netcast” term) for July 1st, 2007. Leo mentioned something that he later called as “maybe bogus” rumor regarding Apple iPhone SDK. Rephrasing what Leo said, Apple may already have an iPhone SDK for Mac OS X, but not for Windows platform.
Honestly, this might be true, even though we haven’t heard anything close to this rumor. Since the iPhone is running Mac OS X, one questions come to mind. Is it possible to develop an app for Mac OS X on Windows platform? Theoretically it might be possible, as long as Apple can provide the SDK.
Are there any Windows-based developers out there who want to write an app for the iPhone? I bet there are, and many of them wouldn’t want to buy a Mac just to develop some simple apps for the iPhone.
In a way, I understand how Apple wants to control the iPhone experience. The one thing I personally do not want is to have my iPhone crashing because of some apps I installed.
We’ll see how this will go in a few months.
Anyway, there are a few things I “overheard” regarding the iPhone and Mac OS X Leopard. I’d go through them and see if they are making any sense at all.
Apparently Apple made some kind of Mobile Phone.
Anyway, I heard that it was equally loved and hated by the early adopters.
For example, my friend didn’t like the way the iPhone syncs with iTunes. The iTunes won’t let you drag any song to the iPhone, as it requires playlists.
From what I heard, the iPhone Activation was a breeze for existing Cingular/AT&T customers. As for switchers, they might have slight resistance from their current providers (Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, …….). Honestly it is somewhat expected, they don’t want their customers to switch.
If I’m not lazy, I’d write more here. I’ll update this entry later.
