Apple iPhone OS 2.0 and SDK Frenzy
The hype around Apple — this time it’s the iPhone — continues unabated.
Yesterday, the world’s technology press fell at the knees of the altar of The Steve, as he gave … get ready for it … a _preview_ of version 2.0 of the iPhone OS. Yes … that’s right, not a release, but a preview. Shocking the level of hysteria they can generate isn’t it?
