iPhone apps

I watched the iPhone SDK unveiling today and it was great. The Forrester folks who wrote off the iPhone for the enterprise must be preparing to eat their advice.

For enterprise apps they showed some cool stuff from SalesForce and a great vertical app for healthcare. As with all the native apps that ship on the iPhone you saw really easy access to large amounts of data easily. The apps that they show were built in 2 weeks from a standing start so it should be wild what we'll see, and I can't wait to see this with 3G support!

The "big smile" moment was reserved for the native game developers. With the accelerometer you have to think of the iPhone as a Wii controller with a screen, a great screen. It showed folks gaming just like you do with a Wii only in a mobile device. It was crazy cool.
