What apps are on the Apple’s VP iPhone?

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:

Shazam: the app that tries to identify a song by “listening” to it
CNN app
MLB.com at Bat, NBA Game Time, ESPN ScoreCenter
Facebook app (nb the app with the largest number of installs)
Best Camera: a photo app
a couple of games:
- Eliminate
- geoDefense

So, no surprises or new discoveries here… You will find more interesting apps in my iPhone apps for geeks series.

A $15 External Battery for iPhone ☞

That’s what I’d call a perfect gift for the iPhone addicts out there. I just wish Santa is hearing me now!

Myth Busters: Why No iPhone Videochat? ☞

The Gizmodo guys, disguised as the ☞ myth busters, are destroying all possible explanations of not having videochat support on the iPhone:

AT&T overloaded 3G network: make it work on WiFi first
limited processing power: nonsense
required VGA camera too expensive or big: other phones already have it

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).

The App Store review process is not evil ☞

I think these guys may be a bit confused. In my opinion, I’d say they should be ashamed they used their media position to pull some strings to get in front of the line. And Apple probably knew that they will get back this sort of cheap PR. Bad, bad, bad!
