iPhone as iPlatform
Today's the day the iPhone launches here in New Zealand. We're excited about this because it's a fun device with heaps of integration among the out-of-the-box software, but most importantly, in ushers in a very clever application development (and business) model.
The iPhone App Store is open for business with (as of this writing) 552 applications for download to your iPhone. 24% of those are free downloads. If you're a software development shop and you want to have your application run on the iPhone (maybe taking advantage of all the location-aware built-in GPS goodness), you can get Apple to distribute and sell your application for you! Apple will take 30% of the sale price for each person who downloads your application via the App Store. You get to keep 70%. Not a bad deal considering Apple takes care of ecommerce, marketing, distribution and delivery. Of course, to prevent l33t h4xx0r software from getting on the App Store, Apple will review each software submission for appropriateness.
