There is a great quote that sums up George Bush the 1st's presidency. "It's all about the economy dummy".
Well, here we are at the end of another cycle in this business I fondly, and jokingly call the "InterWeb". the Web 2.0, as with the last phase, has hit a saturation point and it is time to let your 2.0 freak flag fly. If you have a facebook or a twitter account, you're already 2.0 enabled and may have not even known it. It's ok, that is why I am here, to share things like this excellent website that uses 2.0 features to create calendar goodness.
So on to the next phase (read more).
It is this Technolosopher's STRONG opinion that the quote that will sum it up is going to be "It is all about the content dummy".
The next internet wave is mobile content
and the iPhone SDK and mass of companies committing to develop content
for it are creating a sudden swell. This is going to be a huge set of
waves, building from the N-NW with 30-40 ft swells. We're talking
Waimea bay in winter time (Waimea bay, on the north shore of Oahu,
Hawaii is the birth place of big wave surfing).
I have no doubt in my mind that the iPhone and it's SDK is going to be seen as a pivotal point in history for mobile content. The inflection point that started mass adoption of custom apps on phones by the general public. All Mobile Content Development platforms, Android, iPhone SDK, Toolchain, Windows Mobile, or S60 will try to ride this huge market opportunity, some will wipe out, but all will have a shot.

Quick buy some stocks in Apple,
I feel like riding a big wave :D
actually, apple's price has pulled back enough that it is looking pretty good right now.
agreed on the fact that mobile content is the new trend coming, forcing the entire mobile ecosystem to make their moves in the right direction
