Shut Up and Code
I hear a lot of complaints about the lack of software for the iPhone. I’m not complaining. I’m sure there will be plenty to choose from when the iPhone App Store launches, but I’m also not holding my breath. These things take time. iPhone is the new Macintosh, it needs some time before developers understand it and come up with remarkable applications. They will, just like they’ve done before. And I have faith in Apple that it can help developers cross another chasm, just like they’ve helped them move from the Motorola 68xxx architecture to PowerPC, from System 9 to Mac OS X, and from PowerPC chips to Intel. There will be some casualties along the way, but that’s to be expected. Apple knows how to create and grow new ecosystems. How many times has Microsoft done it? Anyone? Oh yes, the NT kernel story… developed on a MIPS computer to make sure it is portable. So what? The upper layers of the system are as crappy as they have always been.
So, if the iPhone today does not meet your expectations, stop complaining and wait for the new applications to come out before you buy an iPhone. They will be out soon.
And if you’re a coder, shup up and code. Now is your chance to come up with something remarkable.
