When I first thought of getting and iPhone I never figured I’d use the video feature much. But it turns out that I was wrong.
I’ve found that things like Railscasts are both incredibly useful, and surprisingly readable on the 160 dpi screen. I’ve also just loaded up the Apple Video Tips to check them out.
These short kinds of video tutorials are great for short waits, and I like the way that video can illustrate the point quickly.
Oh — and having a kids movie like Finding Nemo on there can really help out when you end up waiting WAY longer than you expected somewhere JUST before nap time… 
Just one more way the iPhone has really changed the way I do many things — for the better.
No, I don’t plan to buy one tonight…though it’s quite tempting. I do plan to try to find a store where I can see it in person.
It’s all over the news today. Steve Jobs announced that there won’t be an SDK for the iPhone — just use Safari. Oh, and you Windows developers can use Safari for Windows to test out your iPhone apps. (BTW — I really love the “resizable text areas” in the new Safari 3 beta. It makes working in the web much nicer when you don’t have to be cramped in a tiny box!)
This seems like an interesting confluence of releases to try to gain further inroads in the market: release a killer OS upgrade (all for just $129), release a revolutionary phone, and then make sure developers everywhere can test that their webapps will work with it by pushing your browser to that other OS.
We’ll have to see if these connections play out the way it seems, but I’m very excited about the announcements today from Apple. I, for one, am planning an app with some iPhone integration so I’m interested to see how the development goes.
