IST finally has an iPhone!

Despite the fact that corporate sales are still not allowed,
we 
finally managed to secure an iPhone for playing.........I
mean 
testing...........



I am getting Knowledge Base articles ready now and would
like to hear 
from people who have worked on them or need help with them.

Thanks,

Congratulations Bernie! 

And even more good news, Apple finally caved and is
eventually rolling 
out an SDK for the iPhone next spring.

So things could get interesting, but IMHO, it will likely
lead to at 
least the opportunity of a more secure platform.  Currently
it's relying 
on inaccessibility/obscurity for much of it's security, and
that's not 
working out so well.  Not to mention all processes currently
run as root...

All that said, it's still pretty cool, especially for a
v1.0.  Have a 
blast with the new toy^H^H^H evaluation unit.
