Since I've bought my iPhone, I've dealt with a lot of more tech-savvy folks telling me that they "would get an iPhone, but I'm waiting for it be more customizable." I have to admit that I only vaguely knew what that meant-- I mean, I've been pretty up front with the fact that I only bought the iPhone because it looked good, not because I actually understood anything about it.
It wasn't until I started IATC that I actually started to learn about all the cool things that iPhone could do. For instance, when the software update 1.1.3 came about, I only noticed that I now had the ability to send text messages to multiple recipients (thank God!), yet I somehow missed the fact that Maps on the iPhone now came with a limited GPS capability. (And by limited, I mean that I can basically locate myself on the Map within about .5 miles.)
But there is all the talk about the SDK coming down the road. SDK stands for Software Development Kit, which basically allows people to create applications for the iPhone home screen. This is kind of like when Facebook starting allowing people to personalize applications and develop all kinds of stupid programs like "My Heroes Ability." Currently, on iPhone we can only use the basic 10 programs (like calculator and maps) and then any web-based applications or Webapps that sites create (like the Facebook one). Webapps are a big part of the mobile dating series I am preparing, so keep a look out for them.
All of the new Apple and iPhone blogs I've discovered in my character study of the iPhone have revealed that everyone is expecting some kind of big announcement about the SDK at the end of February. I am certainly not the one to have the inside scoop but I'd be interested to see what kinds of advancements are made with porn and mobile dating on the iPhone when these potentially easier to promote and use iPhone programs make their long-awaited debut.

WOW! SDK... seems like the big trend in the industry is to take social networking sites mobile. Will be interesting to see how this plays out long-term. Will the trend really grab hold?
Social networking kind of has to go mobile. We'll see how it works though. Social networking is all about ease-of-use, and many of the webapps on iPhone just don't cut it, so we'll see what SDK brings...
Hi eddie -- I think you're the MACdaddy anyway. Get it? Seriously though, I think the application sounds a little sketchy. You could be potentially stalked with that device!
Jewels,
Are you talking about the stalking capabilities of iPling?
If so, I'm scared, too...
