Anyone using an iPhone must have heard already of Phil Schiller, the senior VP of worldwide marketing at Apple, the first Apple figure that went out and spoke about the iPhone AppStore admission process.
Such people are very careful about getting their names associated with any 3rd party tools, software or anything, so I have found it quite interesting when The New York Times published an blog article: ☞ What’s on Phil Schiller’s iPhone?
Unfortunately if you look at the list that’s extremely short:
So, no surprises or new discoveries here… You will find more interesting apps in my iPhone apps for geeks series.
That’s what I’d call a perfect gift for the iPhone addicts out there. I just wish Santa is hearing me now!
The Gizmodo guys, disguised as the ☞ myth busters, are destroying all possible explanations of not having videochat support on the iPhone:
Conclusion:
My only guess: They just want to milk the hell out of their user base. They know their game, these Cupertino boys and girls. They know they have the market by the balls. They know they can keep churning out marginal upgrades …
And to confirm the conclusion I have found a ☞ videoconferencing kit for iPhone (nb: that’s a very good joke).
For a couple of seconds I really thought this is the announcement of the year. Don’t get me wrong, but there were a lot of things to be read between the lines from such a headline. But then I paused for another second and re-read the announcement… and I realized there isn’t much about it (like with most of PR these days).
Let me reformulate the title so everyone can see why it is not a big deal: Microsoft has demoed streaming video from a “Silverlight server” in the ☞ H.264 format. The video is available in web pages through the usage of the HTML5

So, here is the list of multi-client IM iPhone apps I am currently running in parallel:

Sounds a bit stupid isn’t it?
If you are reading this blog or following the iPhone apps for Geeks series, then you probably know that there was one missing feature from the GMail mobile that I cried about. This missing feature made me look for alternative better GMail iPhone apps (like GMateMail or iGMail) and even buy one of them.
By now you are probably already asking what’s this feature I talk about: it’s the auto-expanding Compose Boxes (see ☞ Official Google Mobile Blog for a complete description).
