I was pretty geeked to see that Apple intends to create a much more seamless integration between the iPhone and Microsoft’s Outlook. That’s the one thing that has stopped me from trying an iPhone. I’m a total Outlook junky. It rules my life, and the Blackberry works it better than any other mobile device I’m aware of.
But buried in the news was something even cooler. Apple announced a partnership with the VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which is creating the iFund, a $100m vehicle that will focus on iPhone software startups. What a great idea. This giant carrot is now dangling out there, encouraging developers to create the next great iPhone app. Brilliant.
How long till I can trade-in my Blackberry?
One reply on “Innovative approach to iPhone growth …”
I sure like my iPhone, even without the active synch.
And I can’t wait until June and active synch is released … then the iPhone will be darn close to the perfect mobile devide (I’d still like to see cut and paste and a video camera).
