Apple Goes Corporate With the iPhone
BusinessWeek's Peter Burrows says:
Apple has set its sights on a corporate audience for the iPhone, which has been a hit with consumers.
Steve Jobs has never been much for suits, wearing them or selling to them. His own fashion taste leans to jeans and mock turtlenecks, and almost all of the products created by Apple since his return to the company a decade ago are aimed at consumers.
But now Jobs wants to go corporate. On Mar. 6, at its Cupertino (Calif.) campus, Apple is expected to announce a strategy to use its Web-browsing iPhone to move into the corporate market.....

Making the iPhone Work For Business
Fortune's Jon Fortt and Michal Lev-Ram Report
Will Apple give up some control over the iPhone in order to court corporate customers?
That's one of the juiciest questions surrounding a gathering on Apple's campus Thursday, where CEO Steve Jobs has promised to open up the iPhone's software secrets to the world for the first time. Apple's invitation to the event also hinted at new business-friendly features for the device, and Silicon Valley is abuzz about what that could mean. Will the BlackBerry-toting masses be able to trade in the company smartphone for an iPhone?

Top 10 iPhone Apps We'd Love to See
PCMag's Sascha Segan says:
With the iPhone SDK (software developers' kit) coming out on Thursday, we have our own wish list of apps we'd love to see on the iPhone. A whole bunch of similar apps are available right now for people who have hacked and "jailbreaked" their iPhones, such as a Nintendo emulator and a bunch of IM clients. But which ones will make it through to "official" status? Here are some of our top 10 hopes .

25 Native iPhone Apps We Hope To See
Macworld Staff says:
Back in the days before the iPhone's launch, Apple resisted calls to open the iPhone to third-party development, citing its desire to preserve the device's security and stability. By last summer's Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple offered developers an alternative—they could create Web-based applications that iPhone users would access through the device's built-in Safari browser.....
In October, Apple signaled an end to this cat-and-mouse game, promising to deliver an iPhone SDK in February. That SDK is likely to be a major focus on the conversation when Apple kicks things off at Thursday's event....
We convened a panel of iPhone users—editorial director Jason Snell, senior news editor Jonathan Seff, associate editor Dan Moren, and senior editors Rob Griffiths, Dan Frakes, and Christopher Breen—and told them to come up with a list of the applications they want third-party developers to burn the midnight oil creating. They came up with 25 programs they want right now - software that third-party developers should be able to create, not basic features such as copy-and-paste that Apple should include on all iPhones - which we've ranked in ascending order of urgency.

3G iPhone 'Critical' To Success - Analysts
Macworld UK's Jonny Evans reports:
Apple's under pressure to upgrade iPhone as potential customers defray purchasing current models in expectation of a 3G model of the device.
Analysts claim iPhone sales are cooling off as customers elect to wait for the iPhone that follows the current models. This is frightening investors, who, already concerned at what's seen as a slowdown in iPod sales are also now concerned the company may fail to hit its ten million iPhone sale target for 2008.

Apple Sticks To Its Guns On iPhone Goal
MarketWatch's Rex Crum & Dan Gallagher report:
Apple Inc. stuck to its goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of the year, despite a growing belief by analysts that this will be a stretch in a slowing economy.
At Apple's annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday, Chief
Executive Steve Jobs said the company remains comfortable with its previously stated iPhone sales goal of 10 million units globally by the end of 2008 -- some 18 months after the product was first launched in North America, under an exclusive partnership with AT&T Inc. "There are plans in place to achieve our 10 million iPhone goal," Jobs said in response to a shareholder's question.

No Flash for iPhone - Jobs
Macworld UK's Jonny Evans reports:
Immediate hopes to see BBC iPlayer content on the iPhone were sundered during last night's Apple shareholder's meeting.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs went on record to warn that the iPhone needs a Flash Player that works like it does on a computer, warning that the Flash Lite Player Adobe develops for mobile phones isn't sufficiently advanced for an iPhone.
