"They want push e-mail and calendar, and push contacts, he says. They also want Cisco (CSCO) IPsec VPM, certificantes and identities, WPA2/802.1x, enforces security policies and device configuration, and the ability to remotely wipe an iPhone clean if it’s lost or stolen. Schiller says Apple will do all of those things in the next release of the iPhone software."

NICE ! ! !

That faint plop you just heard was the Mike Lazaridis of Research In Motion screaming while squeezing out a live chicken.

"was the Mike"

s/b "was the sound of Mike"

Wait until the analysts twist themselves inside out trying to find something bad to say, lower their target price and end up having to push their heads back into their bottoms.

Office chairs are hurling themselves out of Ballmer's office window.


"No chance."
- Steve Ballmer

iPhone is getting bigger... just can't get any better!!!!!!!

RIP RIM!
Unbelieveable how people (analysts/biz writers) keep underestimating Steve Jobs. Probably 'cause he doesn't kiss ass and hang around them.

@Ampar

You are hilarious! I can't breathe....

RIM IS DEAD

Let's e-mail elnick over at fortune and see if he wants to update his article to include Steve Jobs latest lead in technology (70% smartphone share=ipod share). Too bad elnick's full of bad tech stocks and stuck in the dark ages.

And the stock.....

Tanks.

TUAW is also offering coverage, albeit second-hand coverage. Still, I like hearing it from them rather than bloggers I never read.

PS: TUAW is The Unauthorized Apple Weblog

"Tanks."


Yeah. Tanks for nuttin'.

Toni Sacconaghi’s head just imploded and no one noticed.

Ki'kass!!! Are you guys watching this thing??? OMG

Mar 06, 08 - 01:48 pm Comment from: Jubei

OMG... have you seen the Open GL/AL , 3 axis play... oh man... they just blew the waters out of the mobile competition...

@Ampar

I think Ballmer is hurling buildings by now. ahahaha

Ampar continued to demonstrate his sense of humor that stops somewhere around 1938.

iPhone is unstoppable...

And we can't even get this thing in Canada! Stupid Rogers!!!

I see what steve meant when he said to hang in there to stockholders. My take? Buy more now, it'll take wall street and analysts about six months to figure this one out. The financial world is tough but the bottom line is money talks. All of a sudden, a few analysts/brokers will be looking back at their glory days while new ones come along.

Mar 06, 08 - 01:56 pm Comment from: Ampar

Screw you, Jooop.
If you don't like it, don't read it. Or are you too stupid to handle that concept? Never mind. It's obvious. Dumbass.

AIM - with buddy icons - this thing just wont stop!

No no, keep up with your hilarious word plays...somebody needs to fill the void left by Abbott & Costello.

i wrote to Chase, Visa, mastercard, amazon, ebay to create iPhone application. We all should.

Funny how apple is doing this during the cebit fair in germany which used to be one of the great intors for new technology.

SDK was ready long ago, while people here were whining about the 6 days delay, and the fact we would only get a SDK roadmap today. Well guess what? Jobs is surprising folks by pulling out more trick off his hat. Not only SDK is ready, has been ready, but lots of applications too... and let's be sure, it also works for iPod Touch. In the next few months, Steve will drop the iTablet and the game will be over for any competition.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:02 pm Comment from: Ampar

It's all for you, Jooop. The world revolves around you, asshole.

BOA has it's own icon - every bank will need to follow, or fall behind.

Very nice on my new touch.

This is big like rockets, like chemistry, like plastics. This is big like cars, like electricity, like fire... okay not as big as fire... but seriously, can you imagine anyone in 5 years not having one of these or their by then hopefully numerous descendants? Not me. This is huge... And this event is shaping up to be exactly what it needed to be!

O sweet victory!

Current non-Mac owners who have an iPhone are going to shit over all this new functionality! They are used to being treated like a POS by Microsucks and will be falling all over themselves to praise the iPhone and His Holiness.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:12 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

The iPhone SDK means more to those kids than Jesus.

I am putting this day into my Calendar as day 1 of the iPhone & iPod touch changing the game in a MAJOR way.

Wow. I mean, WOW! Look at how easy, and absolutely AMAZING the apps are to create and use!

This a a very important day for Apple. For all the right reasons.

Rock on 

waiting until June for v2.0 is sucky. that's 4 months, because as everyone knows when Apple says June, they mean June 29 or 30

"waiting until June for v2.0 is sucky. that's 4 months, because as everyone knows when Apple says June, they mean June 29 or 30"

Perhaps he meant June 2009?

Mar 06, 08 - 02:21 pm Comment from: Jubei

LOL.. people will cry like babies having to wait till June. Don't worry it will be worth it. In fact, it will be orgasmic!!! LOL

I'm just hoping Apple has ramped up the facilities in China early enough, so that they can churn out those 12 million phones before this Christmas... It's obvious that RIM should be very worried. This thing is going to kill its growth very fast!

We need to hear one more thing, and hear it clearly: native push client for Lotus Notes. It may not have as many seats as the Exchange, but it is a close second. Very large organisations would quickly jump on this if it existed.

AND ... iFund takes the Apple stock positive.

Yes, Wall Street understands money far more than tech.

@Jooop

Jooop continues to demonstrate his sense of humor that has yet to be born.

Ampar rocks.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:23 pm Comment from: Tergenev

Well, it was positive for a moment. Possibly the downward trend in the overall market is overwhelming the immediate news. . .

Mar 06, 08 - 02:24 pm Comment from: twilightmoon

I saw the blurb at the end of Ars Tech keynote coverage.. what is iFund? I saw it mentioned but not really explained clearly.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:25 pm Comment from: ElderNorm

I can hear the Microsoft shill blogging now:

"About the iPhone SDK introducted today by Apple.

WHAT, NO ANTI-Gravity. NOTHING to see here. Move along.

Major flop!!! I cannot download it in Alaska so thats a deal killer for me. And it will not work on my Windows Mobile phone. Apple is DOOMED I tell you. Sell your stock now. "

And now back to reality!!

I have to say . . . I think this was the most ground-shifting news day Apple has had since they announced the iPhone.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:27 pm Comment from: Tergenev

$100 million in venture capital from Kleiner Perkins, presumably for entrepreneurs who want to do something integrated with the iPhone.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:36 pm Comment from: Spark

Steve says they won't stop a VOIP over wi-fi app. Just can't use cell.

I work for a Canadian cell phone company on CDMA. Although we don't have the iPhone here yet, we're screwed when we do. This is a huge bomb. Licensing ActiveSync...RIM should be shaking. Everyone else, well, they're already toast. I have been reserved about the iPhone due to corporate but this answers everything they needed to do. And is why Apple rocks and I will never sell my shares.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:38 pm Comment from: Brau

I truly hope Apple won't stop VOIP. They did their best to sidestep the issue:

"They want push contacts, global address list, Cisco IPsec VPN, they want authentication and certs, enterprise class WiFi (WPA2 / 802.1x), security policies, enterprise configuration tools, and they want remote wipe."

Damn! I guess nobody wants free calls via iChat/VOIP?

Hey MDN, I sent you a ComputerWorld story last Friday about Steve Ballmer not refuting the idea that Apple would license the Exchange APIs from MS, and I said that it would relate to today's event. But you chose not to run it. It was prescient, damn it. I want my 15 seconds of fame.
