I am working on this startup these days where we are working with different moble platforms to bring this new idea on board. Basically, everyone has some dead contacts on their mobile phone and we wanted to keep that up-to date with lots of effort. To remove this time and effort, we started this new idea where everyone will be conneted with other person and they will push their updates or receive updates in their mobile itself.
The first one will be going to iPhone, but the site is ready now for web users. Now, you can download the vCard version from the site directly into your desktop mail clients.

Apple released the first Beta after iPhone OS 2.1 surprise release. As usual, we don’t have any additional information about when the push services will be made available for developers. As of now, the release note mentions that this release covers the compatibility (iPhone OS 2.1 ?) and bug fixes. I haven’t played it yet with the new SDK and hoping to see the things soon.
Version History:
Due to NDA, I cannot publish other things like README or Release Notes. Hope to see good things with this release and resolve lots of other issues with previous versions. Cut/Copy/Paste will be nice too !!!

I liked the way the first generation phones were. I hardly had a crash or hang ups. Recently, Apple updated with iPhone OS 2.0. I installed several applications (which are free) to try it out myself. Whenever, i try to do anything to image related application or using internet resources in them (obviously, most of them are), the phone reboots itself.
I was worried about this before. This will be a great invite for hackers and competitors. I tried several application and most of them reboot my iPhone. I hope apple is looking at it for clearing out those show stoppers. It’s really ugly to see a Phone (~ $500) reboots itself handling simple Hello World style programs.
The OS didn’t look stable because of the memory management issues. It looks like it’s all because of Memory Management. Objective-C added lots of things for Garbage collection though. Hope to see Apple fixes the iPhone OS 2.0 with a new one iPhone OS 2.1 (assuming…).

What to consider before you buy iPhone 3G?
Â
Battery is not exchangeable - So if you are using phone a lot and on travel, this will not work. You will be frustrated after few hours of usage.
MS Exchange support - We have to wait and see how many corporates are allowing its users to get push services on their new iPhone. My company doesn’t…
MobileMe - This is a killer. It was really unreliable. I had issues before and i cancelled for couple of years and got recently. There are some advantages if you are a beginner. But if you use computers often, i wouldn’t recommend buying it.
AppStore - There are some joke applications which take some time out of you. There are few good applications and i am not sure the direction where they are heading towards. There were more social web applications and tip calculators than anything else. And some of the paid applications are not that great. So far, there is no WOW on any free applications.
GPS - Drains your battery and no existing application to help you start getting thrilled. There are some “WHERE am i” applications and the accuracy is questionable as of now. I guess Apple will fix those issues soon. One of those applications show me that i am in Seattle even though i am in Boston (slight mistake !!!).
PUSH services - It’s not pushing upto the minute like blackberry. Instead it does it every 15 minutes. Well, do we still call this PUSH service ? I guess Apply must be working on this. Let’s wait and see.
There are lots of other glitches. I have the old iPhone and i exchanged it 4 times already and i am on the 5th phone. So, please get the warranty to keep it smooth (actually, one of those phones stopped working on the next of my 1st year warranty).
Â
There are several other missing feature on the hardware, phone and software side. I guess they may come back with iPhone OS 3.0 for Christmas which can fix quite a set of bugs and features.

I have a chance today to download those free iPhone applications to my mobile which has 2.0 OS. I will add each application into my comments with pros and cons. Is it worth spending time with these apps? Are they working helping you decide buy paid applications? Is the UI will be completely difference on paid apps? I will do my best to give you those things before you consider buying them yourself.

Apple is working on couple of things today.
They released Apple TV 2.1 update to incorporate MobileMe support and iPhone/iPod Touch Remote software.
Working on having MobileMe released today. They are delayed quite a bit on the timeline. Hopefully, they will come clean with a great product.
iPhone users are thrilled to stand on a line. It’s getting crazy for tomorrow.
iTunes 7.7 is released to public. It hasn’t updated its download directory yet.
Keep your fingers crossed.
