      Kevin, did you even pay attention to what AAPL announced? First up was the enterprise announcement where there would be support for MS Exchange's. The way that AAPL positioned this is that there is no 'Blackberry-Connect' service between you and your e-mail servers. That means the only time an outage will occur is if your corporate e-mail was down or if the cellphone network/WiFi network crashed. This is to be released in their 2.0 upgrade in June. So, no developers are required for this to take place.

      Next up was the SDK (Software Developer's Kit). This is what would be developed by programmers. The Beta of the SDK is now out and programmers have tools to develop programs now for release in June. The SDK has tools to test and simulate an iPhone on a Mac. The programs will be sold on a 70/30 split basis via a new Applications Store found directly on the iPhone, though with an option to purchase on iTunes.

      As usual, Apple rolled out some companies who develop software to talk about how great the SDK was. If what they say is true, then we're in for a fair amount of software for business, entertainment and productivity when June rolls around. Hopefully, they'll be on their way to announcing the 3G iPhone.
