I admit to being as excited as anyone by the iPhone SDK event last week. Since the 'Glorious Appearing' at MW07, I've been jonzin' for the ideal iPhone: 3G, 32 or 64GB, Exchange support, all the things that will make it what I want it to be and also help me convince our corporate parent that iPhone is a viable [nay - superior] alternative to Crapberries.
With iPhone 2.0 coming, the 3G edition also expected this year, and the likely storage increases as flash prices plummit, the time is certainly ripe. All of the gaming stuff has got me excited, too. If I can carry around one device that is a phone, PDA, iPod, and plays games as well as my DS or PSP [limited input options notwithstanding], well, that's really all I can envision wanting in a portable device. Unless it prints money, too.
With months left before this magical handheld can actually be purchased, how can I possibly refrain from buying into the hype that the Mac community cannot help but generate? Every time we get a sniff of a new product from Apple, we invariably come up with so many ideas of how the device ought to be configured or what it should do that there is no way it can ever meet expectations. As excited as I am about the SDK and what it might mean, and as much as I want to hear what other people are thinking is possible, I can't help but feel that the only way I can actually be satisfied with the damn thing is to stay as far away from MR and similar sites as possible until it gets here.
