The mobile phone market - 952 million units. Yeah,
but how many of those were actually smartphones? Hard
to find any exact evidence, but Symbian reports shipping 37 mil
units in 2006 and they're almost 73 % of the whole
smartphone market. In other words, smartphones
sell waaay less than digital cameras. Frankly, I'm
quite surprised they'd let this kind of bug slip
into the Keynote.
CalDAV support. One of the biggest reasons why
companies buy expensive Nokia Communicators with even
more expensive Exchange servers is they provide an
end-to-end "cross platform" solution. OK, you can
make Exchange email work over IMAP, but what about
collaborative services, ie calendards? Apple's
planning to put CalDAV support into Leopard server,
but to this day thre's not a single CalDAV client for
mobiles out there. Would've been nice if he'd touch
on this subject, or at least showed a glimpse of the
client running.
Good show otherwise. Apple TV looks really cool too.
Thinking of buying one just for the sake of trying to
make it work without iTunes (although I'm sure
someone will have had it figured out by the end of
this week).
One things's for sure - WWDC's gonna be awesome!
