iPhone applications aren’t only for cool consumer apps. We are going to see the enterprise world get into the action, and we see one cross over with the release of an iPhone application from Fidelity. The application looks like a widget that gets you simple market data, and also ties in news.
On your iPhone? If so, check it in action!

My prediction is that come January El Jobs will announce that you have to apply and generally supply ‘yeah man’ DNA to design applications for the iPhone and iPod, but once you’ve shown you can yell ‘yeah man’ really loud whilst downing your fifth blueberry and kelp smoothie you’ll be shown the special stuff inside the device, you can then create applications that people can buy on iTunes. There will be a lot of license stuff, paperwork etc and strictly no voip permitted, but it’ll open up a whole new frontier and one not dependent upon super targeted assassin like advertising so favoured of Facesoft.
I came across this choice quote in the Guardian this morning, attributed to a ufologist:
‘If the pet hamster in your bedroom suddenly manages to construct a machine gun, you are going to have to give him more than the usual amount of attention’.
That kinda sums up what the iPhone is going to do to the mobile phone market in the months to come. Our furry friend just got ammo.
