Apple's iPhone SDK Press Conference


Recommended Posts

Looks like the delay was true: an invite for the launch of the iPhone SDK came in, and it's showing a Town Hall event on Cupertino campus on March 6th. The mail includes a reference to "some exciting new enterprise features" as well. Research In Motion should be as excited as we are. And yes, this is when Steve tells us TSFU. At last.

Exciting!

Any idea if they're going to bring something like this to the UK, or is this going to be a strictly one time affair?

It's pretty much a special event. Whatever they talk about will probably be released throughout the Developer Connection.

they should release a flip phone

actually, they should release a thin flip phone to compete with the razr, but still retain all the cool touch controls etc...kind of innovate in the flip phone area would be nice...having wifi on a flip phone would be innovative as well

This better not involve an unlocking fee and a mandatory base line price for each application you want to install. This is Apple we're talking about after all, who makes early adopters pay for applications the newcomers get for free on their cheaper priced device.

I think people will be pretty peeved if that happens to be honest. Legimate ownership of an iPhone is already a wallet stretching experience for most people.. costs per applications, etc would just be getting ridiculous.

I'm absolutely dying for some kind of AIM client on my iPhone (without hacks that break upon every update) and a native version of Bejeweled 2. The web apps just flat suck. I'm afraid they are going to say it's not ready until WWDC though, which is I think why they called this a "Roadmap" event instead of some kind of release event.

BBC's iPlayer site now has a "Beta BBC iPlayer for iPhone" badge when navigated to with an iPhone (screenshot). Coincidentally appeared on the day of the SDK roadmap. Content is not yet playable on the iPhone.

10:05AM - They want push contacts, global address list, Cisco IPsec VPN, they want authentication and certs, enterprise class WiFi (WPA2 / 802.1x), security policies, enterprise configuration tools, and they want remote wipe.

10:06AM - "That's a long list of important features enterprise customers want. Well, I'm excited to be the one to tell you today, we're doing ALL these things in the next release of the iPhone software." Big applause, couple of cheers.

10:07AM - "Our customers have asked us to build in MS Exchange right into the iPhone -- we have licensed ActiveSync for the iPhone." Daaamn!

That's pretty cool. At least Apple are happy to swallow their pride sometimes and just do what their customers want if the demand is there. Licensing ActiveSync is a great move - that'll really help with adoption in the enterprise.

Hallelujah 802.1x.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
