Money Talks – Bullshit Walks
As expected push notification finally comes to iPhone OS in SDK 3.0. But the architecture has changed from background application to purely push API.
There are many other exciting features longed by many developers such as Google Maps can be used in any apps, access to hardware, MMS, and much more.
Full coverage from Mac Rumors here.
Apple has posted the 3.0 information here, and the QuickTime streaming here.
In case you haven’t heard yet. Apple will announce the iPhone roadmap & SDK on Thursday 6th March at a special media event. The keyword is “enterprise”. I wonder what sort of “technology” will iPhone be “compatible” with enterprises which only know about PC & Windows. Could it be Microsoft Exchange support on iPhone?! We’ll find out next Tuesday!
[update] So yes!!! I predicted correctly. The enterprise part of the event is the MS Exchange support as Apple has licensed ActiveSync from MS. That makes iPhone officially endorsed by enterprises. Plus 1 for Apple!
iPhone SDK is available now. Watch the event here.
