I just finished watching the iPhone enterprise and SDK launch webcast. What I saw there completely blew
my mind! Although, I do not own an iPhone (its still a bit of a luxury on a student stipend) I cant believe the revolution Apple is quietly launching! To me it seems obvious that the enterprise is going to absolutely love the seamless integration of iPhone with Microsoft Exchange Server. And whats more, the neat SDK really offers a great opportunity for service providers to port to iPhone all the great apps and tools that are currently being used.
One great thing about the iPhone is the ability to manage contacts. Its almost like you can touch your entire social network with your fingers. And I think this is how iPhone itself will become the next generation social network tool. Facebook, Twitter and a host of other social network sites and instant messaging tools will be rushing to put their apps on the iPhone. This should make it easy for us to have access to our entire social network on the go. Lifestreaming on steroids! Imagine if you could go beyond just updating status messages and sharing photos. iPhone offeres much more by way of its location technology. Now its not just interacting with your network -- but doing it in real time, live, and on location. And THAT would be really cool.
In a way, the timing of Charlene Li's talk titled "The future of social networks: Social networks will be like air", couldnt have been more perfect. It is exactly this revolution that will make Social Networks omnipresent and pervasive. Welcome to a world of SocialTouch!
