I’m a bit sad about this news, reported here,
AT&T (T) announced today that it had only activated 146,000 Apple (AAPL) iPhones the first day that they were on sale. And, investment bank CIBC said that sales of the handset have slowed considerably in the last 10 days. CIBC said that AT&T Wireless stores had plenty of supply and little traffic.
The research call explains that customers are disappointed with Apple’s connection speed. It goes on to speculate that Apple and AT&T may be rushing to get out a 3G device by Christmas.
If the information is accurate, it means that the quarter that will be reported about 90 days from now could be a significant disappointment, and that eyes will be on Apple’s earnings report this week for info on how the device has sold in July.

Especially cos my friend and former team lead, Ed Schepis, is not gonna reach his objectives on his fantastic website, OneMillionIphones
I’ve just right now published the slides of my two last speeches on slideshare, that site is really nice, simple and wao, web 2.0!
For time boxing look here, for importance of being driven have a look here!

Just a confirmation of what I wrote some weeks (month? can’t remember!) about bye bye Java on the phones, the Java ME failure and how cool is the iPhone.
Actually more than one friend of mine told me to change the domain, I’m thinking on…
iPhone to Support Third-Party Web 2.0 Applications
WWDC 2007, SAN FRANCISCO—June 11, 2007—Apple® today announced that its revolutionary iPhone™ will run applications created with Web 2.0 Internet standards when it begins shipping on June 29. Developers can create Web 2.0 applications which look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone, and which can seamlessly access iPhone’s services, including making a phone call, sending an email and displaying a location in Google Maps. Third-party applications created using Web 2.0 standards can extend iPhone’s capabilities without compromising its reliability or security.

Twitter is a WEB 2.0 web application, after registering you have an account and you can write what you are doing, so your friends (well, let’s say everybody in this world) will know what the hell are you doing…
It’s actually well done, with an RSS interface, integration with IM, can be used from a phone (only US at the moment), a Mac OS application and a widget exist already and it has some public REST api to call…
Can be useful to track what is doing one resource in a team, especially on distributed agile teams.. Don’t you think? Even if it was designed for stealing your privacy!!!
And… Not a beta for this time…
