Back in Touch

I haven't mentioned it here before, but shortly after the native SDK for the iPhone and iPod Touch was announced, I purchased a Touch.

Within a few days I had applied the original Jailbreak. I'm now running the latest firmware (thanks to ZiPhone).

The Touch is the best electronic device I've ever owned. I love it - the only problem I have with it is that I don't have Wi-Fi access everywhere, so a iPhone would certainly be a bonus. I'm going to wait until later this summer, expecting a hardware update by then.Now that the SDK has been released I'm thinking hard about what software I'd like to see, so I can begin building it now.

The biggest problem that I see with the SDK is that the apps will not be allowed to run in the background - that means of course that my favorite app, MobileScrobler, probably won't work.

So, maybe the Jailbreak community will still exist.

iPhone want list

these are the things that the iPhone needs before I'll buy one- offline AJAX apps- third party dashboard style apps- Stereo Bluetooth (how nice would it be to stream from all apple hardware)- full bluetooth support- video camera on front side for video chat- GPS (or availble GPS bluetooth support)- better camera (autofocus, flash, video)
