More updates from Mobile Camp London 2007

Just finished an interesting session about Syncing all your devices and how that could work in the future... it was more of a theoretical discussion than anything else. As well as a session about privacy and network authentication (such as using your phone to do credit card transactions). I had a chance to stop with with the Last.Fm guys Jono Cole and Johan Oskarsson... talk about a cool job. Well if that wasn't enough they were so kind as to bring over their shiny new UNLOCKED iPhone... wow, this thing is cool when it's UNLOCKED.

Yes it's real, the UNLOCK works and look what that means... now the main screen can be FULL of cool apps, such as IRC, IM, Flickr, and games. Now this thing is finally showing what it can really do....

So what games can it play? How about Tetris... how about Network Pong... or how about this...

 

 Yes that is Super Mario Brothers running on the NES emulator on the iPhone... with virtual touch controls! How cool is that?????? Ahhhh, if Apple just let developers develop for this wonderful device instead of locking it down... it's like getting the newest Ferrari and not being able to get out of 2nd gear (it has 7 gears total)... what a waste!
