iPhone expansion and iPhone Server will cement Apple mobile business
This week we learned about the new countries where the iphone will be sold making the future even more interesting for the iphone. Apple target for the iphone is 10 million by the end of 2008, so far Apple has sold almost 6 million of them, but with the new countries deployment the 10 million mark will be easier to acchieve and with the 3G version on the pipeline this mark can even be passed. Apple is revealing its strategy day by day, doing so gives Apple more media covering.
This week a new patent was granted to Apple that provides centralized/location based processing for the iphone. The location based system could possibly be used to push customised info to the Apple iPhone passing by particular business fronts, maps, weather, city information in an airport, and flight schedules for an example. An Apple iPhone user would only need to log into the WiFi network on their iPhone handset in order to receive local information pushed to their iPhone.
Imaging how this can be customized to serve business specific need that better suit your corporation, plus Exchange, Push Email and everything in between make the iphone look more business oriented than we thought.
So, going to a Starbuck, Barnes and Noble or just order your meal at the corner restaurant from your own iphone can be a good thing, just remember when you can order at some restaurans using your Newton or go to your local Museum and listen Picture-Newton information as you pass by. Apple is just polishing those old tricks.
