Okay, I admit it. I'm wibbling about the iPhone. On one hand, it's new and shiny and cool and waaaaaaaant. On the other hand, there are some limitations to v1 that I'm not sure I like. EDGE is one of them, uncertainty about Exchange support is another.

Craig, our new all-knowing and all-powerful GM, stopped by my office to chat. At the MacBU-California all-hands meeting yesterday, he made it pretty clear that he's going to have an iPhone in his hands as soon as humanly possible. (We reminded him that we have a bunch of summer interns here, so we can send them out to the various stores and have them wait in line to ensure that he gets one.) Today, when I expressed my reservations about it, he whipped out his current smartphone and went on about how EDGE is pretty good for most things and he's pretty pleased with it.

So it turns out that the new GM is an enabler. I'm hoping this bodes well for my future hardware requests, that he won't mind when I try to upgrade my laptop every time Apple releases a new one. Hmmm, maybe I can convince him that an iPhone is a business purchase, I need to fully understand its UX so that I'm ready if Apple does release a full SDK.
