I am a geek. I embrace it, I revel in it, it's on my license plate, and it used to be apparent by how many electronic gadgets I carried around... This included my Palm (later my treo 650p), my cell phone(s) [I changed them out ever 6-8 months, so it's not worth listing], blackberry, iPod, whatever!
Now I just carry that damn blackberry and my iPhone. Please understand, I love my iPhone. In some states, the love I feel for my iPhone would be considered illegal in addition to just being creepy. I don't go to those states anymore (I'm lookin' right at you, Alabama!) This is actually my second one, as I recently upgraded to the 16gb version from the 8gb I've had since July.
What to say, it's pretty cool. I was running a jailbroken 1.1.2 firmware, but with the new phone, I'm on 1.1.4 and I restored my wife's phone and updated to 1.1.4. The only thing I miss is the Taskbar Notifier applet, honestly. A little reminder wherever you were that you had a text message or an email waiting for you. Sure, I went nuts in the beginning with all the little applets, had to restore the phone a couple times while wandering around in terminal [yeah, don't do that...] or screwing up the configs/plists for my ringtones [don't do that, either].
Now, I want to see what apps are going to be built using the SDK... I like the comments at /. because they kinda get to the heart of it from a geek standpoint
- what's going to be possible?
- What's going to be allowed?
- What is the killer app going to be?
So, I registered and downloaded the SDK. I'm a noob at Objective C, though I've been coding scripting and other languages for years, and staring at the big empty window... or rather staring at the big empty black screen of the simulated iPhone on my Mac's desktop, I find myself asking a simple question:
What's a good app for the iPhone? I'm not a big graphics guy, but I'll tell you, I would like a password holder that lives on the phone and not in the cloud... What else?
