Apple scored with the Iphone and now they are becoming even smarter. SDK's are the way to go and apple will gain huge market share for this move. Google loves sdk's and so does everyone else online. Why Microsoft does not open more of there stuff is crazy. Rock on Apple.

Thanks

Was there any comment about upgrading the video player?

I think it means like off-centre or odd.

I also think the iFund is probably the best thing in that release, and there's some pretty good stuff!

From Apple's built-in dictionary:

wonky |ˈwä ng kē|

adjective ( -kier , -kiest ) informal

crooked; off-center; askew : you have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth.

• (of a thing) unsteady; shaky : they sat drinking, perched on the wonky stools.

• faulty : your sense of judgment is a bit wonky at the moment.

Anyone who doesn't own at least ten shares of Apple should stop whatever they're doing and go buy some. Anyone who already has a "position" should hang on for the wildest ride of their lives!

Did I miss any mention of "cut and paste?"

When the Iphone will support full audio/video Ichat with AIM or Skype is when I will purchase one. I don't want to be held hostage to whatever telecom carrier's high rates I am roaming to when i travel internationally. When can we expect that from the Iphone?

They should call the iPhone the Eliminator. Because it will eliminate things such as those Nintendo DS game systems, portable DVD players, Blackberrys, and even iPods. It can do everything those niche products can and do it better.

If this thing really goes corporate, and you had to pick between the iPhone and a Blackberry, I would say 95% of you would pick the iPhone. The potential is unlimited and right now, the stock price is a bargain compared to what it could be in a year.

Steve Jobs should be made Time's Person of the Decade (if there is such a thing). I don't think anyone has had such an indelible mark on the consumer and business world than him in the last ten years.
