Apple to reveal iPhone strategy for businesses, developers

This article is about Apple Inc. revealing software plans for its popular iPhone handset on March 6, including new features aimed at business and details on allowing outside developers to create applications for the device. A hit with consumers for its sleek design and web browsing capabilities, the iPhone has had a reputation for being less appropriate for business because of its lack of a physical keyboard and concerns its email programs lack the necessary security features and functionality. The iPhone so far runs only Apple software, though software made by outside developers can be accessed through the web. "There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the cell network," he wrote. "As our phones become more powerful, these malicious programs will become more dangerous. And since the iPhone is the most advanced phone ever, it will be a highly visible target." The iPhone, which launched in the United States in June 2007 and has made its debut in a number of European countries, is still not available through a wireless carrier in Canada.
Some Canadians, however, have been able to purchase grey market versions of the device that are "unlocked" and thus free to run on Rogers' wireless network, which uses compatible technology.

My Opinion

I think that the Iphone is just like someother gagget that we don't really need in life. What purpose do we need it for? Sure, you can browse the internet, listen to music even call people, but really you could just buy a cellphone or an ipod for that kind of action. I also think that the internet in the Iphone is a target for viruses because who knows who can be watching you doing things on the internet. Some one can hack onto those things and watch you. Just like third party wedsites that are really not safe and could transmite a virus in your internet.
