Adam and Tonya Engst of TidBITS and Take Control join host Chuck Joiner to provide an in-depth review of all the iPhone-related announcements from Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. The panel explains why Mac developers are not completely happy with the iPhone development path outlined by Steve Jobs, why tasks are often more important than platforms, and why the iPhone may be more network computer than phone. Adam and Tonya point out why the disadvantages of the iPhone may not really be relevant, explain why Safari for Windows may be iPhone driven, and give some personal examples of why you need to be careful of any software that is marked as “beta.”
