I’ve been meaning to write this for the last week. I saw an interesting article over on theAppleBlog about a new little application for the iPhone. Apparently a hosting company has built a nice iPhone-specific control panel for their services. Now, I don’t think I’ve ever needed to reboot a server or pay my hosting bill so urgently that I need that power on in my pocket, but it’s still pretty nice.
This is even more interesting to me in the context of people’s responses to the iPhone before it launched. There seemed to be only two types of people, those who were actively trying to sell children or body parts to get their hands on one and those who seemed to hate it just because everyone else loved it. Finally to my point… it’s really interesting how the hype has created this virtuous cycle around the iPhone. Everyone is so excited about it, people are creating cool applications to try to piggy-back on that hype and those attempts are themselves fulfilling the hype.
Lucky Apple.
