Interesting Article on Why iPhone Will Stick with AT&T

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.

Why the iPhone Isn’t Going Anywhere

Challenges with Progress. It’s the Yang-Yin?

Well our disappointment with Apple‘s iPhone SDK 3.1 is not going to go away anytime soon. Our technical issue is systemic to the SDK There is a wall between where we want to go within the iPhone and the SDK that can only be circumvented by jailbreaking the iPhone. And being the legitimate developers we are, we’ll leave that to the hacker apps. Hopefully Apple and AT&T will see the potential revenue here and eventually open it up.

In the mean time we have identified a couple of alternatives that will provide a decent workaround, and could quite possibly be a benefit that we wouldn’t of otherwise had if were able to ue the iPhone SDK the way we had originally intended. The benefit will accrue to us when we migrate our app to other smartphones.

As for our Iowa project that one is looking to be on long-term hiatus. Another technical issue that one of our third party technical partners was not willing to move on. Too bad too, because I was doing the coding on that one and was truly enjoying it.

But have to move on, can’t dwell on what might have been. We have enough other ideas in the pipeline that there is no downtime.
