Dear lord, did i just spend 5 minutes reading what was 90% almost religious in nature praise with 10% viable information?

This article is patently useless. Let me sum it up for you in 3 sentances. Apple 3.0 sdk = could be good. Android sucks with viruses. The iphone is so superior to everything ever.

I really must start reading the comments here before reading the article. You're 100% right.

In this case I think just the title was enough of a warning.

Not to mention the sensational title. By "the iPhone3.0 is the next desktop platform," the author meant that iPhone apps might look something like desktop apps in the future. That's a big jump from "the next desktop platform".

Indeed - but it's a question that a lot of people are pondering.

Still, the OP is correct that this article doesn't really further the discussion.

And the rationale used that Android and WinMo have viruses is a link to a site that seems to sell a product so you can remotely wipe or locate your lost or stolen phone, and doesn't seem to be related to viruses at all. Pretty weak. But that sounds like it could be a useful product for a highly portable device like a phone -- where's a version of the iPhone?
