So iPhone software release 2.0 was let loose on the masses yesterday and with it came the much anticipated App store. Apple released over 500 applications on launch day, enough to make any iPhone fan boy’s head spin. While it is impossible to download and try every application I present to you the apps I found to be most useful, possibly leaving some gems yet to be discovered. If you have others, leave a comment and I will try it out. I’d love to have some apps crack the top 5.
So without much further ado I present to you my top 5 free applications from the iPhone app store.
Microsoft is said to be leveraging the skills it has learned from it’s Mac Business Unit to look at creating a mobile version of MS Office for the iPhone. Microsoft will leverage it’s expertise in Active Sync technologies to create business applications that are sure to appeal to the corporate units who are looking to bring the iPhone in house.
This looks to be shaping up as an explosion of applications and development as every company wants a piece of the iPhone marketplace. 10 million phones may be an easily attainable sales figure if this is picked up on the corporate level as it looks like it is shaping up to do. I predict by this time next year that Apple will be on level playing ground with Rim as far as phones in the marketplace. I believe the adoption will be swift, and snowball as corporations adopt, developers create compelling apps, and other corporations adopt so as not to be left behind.
I found a site today called TextOnPhone.com. Browse there on the iPhone or iPod Touch and check out some of the 30,000 books and documents that they have online for your reading pleasure.
The great thing about this service is that you can go to their site with a computer and upload your own documents to their server. You will then have access to them later from your iPhone.
I have been studying a lengthy PDF file for the last few days and have bee carrying the print version around with me. Now I will have it with me every where I go. All I had to do was simply copy and paste, upload to the server, go back to my iPhone and there the document was waiting to be read.

Not much information is known at this time but there are rumors on the web that IBM is developing a Lotus Notes application for the iPhone.
Speculation is that IBM waited until the release of the SDK to begin development and want to release the application as quickly as possible.
There are 140 million Lotus Notes and Domino users worldwide, according to IBM, and it would be very wise for both Apple and IBM to release it faster. So far Microsoft Exchange is number one platform.
Here are a few screen shots from the soon to be released software for the iPhone. The first image shows the App Store, email Mass Delete, and Cisco Configuration. This is the first news regarding mass email delete that I have heard, it will be interesting to see what other features Apple can get in to the release. Search - cut and paste anyone??
After some server issues getting the SDK delivered to potential developers, Apple is still well on it’s way to finding a thriving developer community for the recently announced SDK (Software Developers Kit).
The SDK will give large corporations and small time developers the same tools that Apple has used to create applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The SDK is free, distribution of free software will be free to the developer but if you want to sell your applications there is a one time fee of $99. In addition to the one time fee Apple will get 30% of all profits from the application sales for hosting and marketing. The SDK beta is available for download from Apple’s Web site.
Now that the SDK has been announced and everyone is either busy announcing products or putting in their wish lists for products, here is one more that I would like to see.
How about a Bluetooth Keyboard and text entry program for the iPhone. How nice would it be to use one of these cool Ped3 Stands and a mini bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone to turn your iPhone in to a mini road monitor and use the phone as a true mobile computer.
Sun plans on releasing the Java virtual machine for the iPhone some time after June of the this year according to Sun officials and MacNN.
Sun has long been rumored to covet the iPhone platform and will now get their chance to develop for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
