1. Beta 5 of the iPhone SDK is out. This version has come out only a few weeks after the last beta. Each version has more and more capabilities. I am hoping to learn some programming so I can develop a few simple clinical utilities myself.
2. The iPhone is no longer available for sale on the US or UK web stores. Is it possible that the new iPhone will soon be for sale? All signs point to 3G network speeds which should be a big improvement. What other features that will be found in iPhone 2.0 are still a mystery. With no phone for sale as of today it would seem logical that a new phone will need to be announced soon.
3. The updated firmware for the iPhone will probably need to be installed later for buyers of the new iPhone. Apple's policy is to give new firmware to iPhone users; expect a $20 charge for iPod Touch users to get the new features. This is what they did with the last firmware update.
4. No public demos of iPhone medical software yet. I have been scouring the web looking for any news of testing. This is not surprising as user testing really won't be practical until the 2.0 firmware is released.
