Nimble Design - /the/path/of/most/resistance
“Apple is doing something rather daring with their new iPhone OS. They are essentially omitting features that people once took for granted in a typical computer. And one of the biggest things they’ve omitted is the visual file system […] The end result is that regular folks are happier with their computers and that geeks are pissed that Apple has “dumbed down” the computer. […] I’m hoping that devices like the iPad and iPhone contribute to the demise of the visual file system. I think its death in consumer devices will lower the bar for folks who just want to do stuff and get the computer out of the way.” I couldn't agree more.

MobileScrobbler: AudioScrobbler client for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch
Awesome. This is why third-party development is a must: Apple's never going to do this in-house, but it makes my iPhone that much more valuable to me.

Matt Legend Gemmell » Blog Archive » Get rid of your code with Leopard
An overview of what's new in Leopard for developers. The killer feature of Leopard is really going to be what it lets indie developers do; I can't wait to see what Panic, Flying Meat, et al. can do with this stuff.
TidBITS iPod & iPhone: Apple Nearing iPhone Third-Party Developer Announcement
From any other source I'd call bullshit, but it's Glenn Fleishman and TidBITS, and seems to line up with some rumblings I've been hearing from inside the Mothership. Who knows - anything's possible…
Call Me Fishmeal.: iPhone & iPod: contain or disengage?
Wil articulates what every long-time Mac-head is feeling these days. I'm very afraid for the future of Apple - more than I've been at any other point.
