Wall Street got vicious and took nigh on to a $9 bite out of Apple on
Tuesday, the stock's worse day in seven years, after AT&T, the iPhone's sole
carrier, reported that only 146,000 of the gadgets were activated in the
first 30 hours of sales.
That was the 30 hours before the second quarter closed shut, and the number
was far below the market's opium eaters-like expectations of hundreds of
thousands moving.
The news hit a day before Apple reported its own quarter and was aggravated
by a report from CIBC World Markets saying iPhone demand had been in
"significant decline" for 10 days in part because of AT&T's slow Internet
speed. CIBC is betting a new iPhone model comes out in November that can use
AT&T's faster network. Apple seems not to agree.
Anyway, by the time Apple's numbers were out and its conference call finished
on Wednesday, the stock after-hours had hit... (more)

iPhone Developer Summit (www.iphonedevsummit.com) announced today Kevin
Hoffman as the Tech Chair of the Conference. The letter from the Tech Chair
at the conference Website contained the following message:
What's the impact of the iPhone going to be on the delivery of rich content
to mobile users? How does Google's new Android differ from the iPhone SDK and
iPhone Safari development? When should you use the iPhone SDK versus
developing web applications?
The release of the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch has renewed interest in
computing devices controlled with direct hand input (either by touch and/or
pen), putting "gesture-based" interfaces squarely onto the menu of what
developers want to learn more about.
But gesture-based design is just one of the myriad topics that have suddenly
become red-hot. Others include questions about how to build apps using the
new A... (more)
iPhone Summit at Cloud Expo
Yeah, it's this time of the year.
Again.
Making predictions is so tempting...
This year I'll cover just the iPhone.
1. Apple will let Flash Player on iPhone no later than October ’10.
They don’t have a choice, if they want to stay competitive.
Enough of a crippled Web browser already.
2. ActionScript won’t kill, but will seriously damage Objective-C as the
language of choice for development of iPhone applications.
The programs written in ActionScript will be a lot more entertaining and
engaging than today's iPhone applications.
3. The next version of the Droid phone will be so cool, that I’ll switch
from iPhone / AT&T to Droid/Verizon.
Verizon’s phone service is clearly better. I just need a modern device.
Lots of people in the USA will do the same.
Should I put the money where my mouth is and purchase some VZ stocks?
OK. Two more. Not exa... (more)

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having
said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because
they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would
share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application
pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered.
From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the
iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to
make it faster?

my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business se... (more)
