Very interesting assessment as to why Apple will stick with AT&T as it’s sole provider in the short run. It’s always interesting to see additional facts and insights by those with knowledge. Rumors have abounded for months as to when Verizon will offer the iPhone. This article casts doubt that Verizon will ever offer this version of the iPhone on its current CDMA network.

Well it ends up that our trials with the iPhone SDK 3.x shortcomings proved to be one of the best things that could have happened to our project. In searching for a work around we uncovered an answer that is not a work around but is truly a superior solution to what we had thought the SDK could provide. The answer moves us from the realm of just providing a software application to being a service provider.
It entails adding some equipment at a data center, but that equipment opens us to some very expansive telecommunications possibilities. It will allow us to create an engine that we can then use not just on our iPhone app, but as the back end for any smartphone on which we choose to release our application. We’ve had numerous conversations with both the manufacturer as well as the local VAR and we are convinced it will do everything we need for now and well into the future.
And in a serendipitous twist it also solves the issues we were having with out Iowa project. It will allow us to do everything we wanted our third party technical partner to provide but couldn’t.
In speaking with the manufacturer it seems that no one else is using this hardware in the way we intend, even though it is 100% capable of doing what we want. That may be the best news of all, it gives us a competitive advantage.
Shows what you can do when you view problems not as roadblocks that impede, but as challenges to succeed.

Today we began the process of passing off our first design document to development. Meeting between Michael, Larry, Ed, and Nelson. We’ve completed the bulk of our phase one design. Compared to the other software companies we’ve started we are much further ahead. We have a detailed design doc on what the iPhone app will do. It’s been rare in the past that we’ve had this much design work prior to the start of our coding. Nelson is certain that he can begin to code based on what we handed off today.
We’re all very enthused about what we’ve designed. Should be a very useful, simple app for iPhone, but one which has no c0mpeting iPhone app, even with the release of 3.0. Best part is this is phase one, we’ve already scoped out phase two and three. We also have two additional iPhone apps on the drawing board that are totally unrelated to this development effort.

Its always amazing to me how it is possible now to work from just about anywhere. I am sitting in a small public square in our town. I am about 50 feet from Starbucks and through their WIFI and my ATT account, I am working on our company website and blog. Its great.
