The iPhone SDK was released on Monday: www.apple.com/safari
Why would they include a "desktop sdk" when the desktop applications are going out of business? I don't want native applications on the iPhone, but cheap data rates would be a killer feature!
I have a Windows Mobile based Smartphone and have only 2 applications installed. A Sudoku game and a homescreen application.
I think the RSS is just a beginning. Google Reader is like a custom webpage with all the information what I am interested in.
The only thing what I miss is the commenting, I don't want to visit the website just to read and write comments.
Some ideas in this field:
- in each rss entry there should be a link to the RSS of the comments.
- RSS readers should display them inline.
- xml-rpc for blog commenting: http://www.webpronews.com/blogtalk/2007/02/20/xml-rpc-for-blog-comments
- each comment should contain the possibility to write a reply (with the help of xml-rpc + a small form)
- or the whole thing can be implemented on an email or IM base
And the sad thing is that there are really big stores with a lots of stuff but you have to visit at least two of them to get whatever you want :(.
Another really bad supermarket practice is when a product have got 3 different flavoring and one of them is going well, but nobody buy the other 2. The result is that they will abandon the product totally, it doesn't matter that one of the flavors went really well.
