On August 1 2007, I published an article called "My Month with the iPhone" wherein I examined the iPhone's now well-known advantages and deficiencies and speculated extensively on where Apple was likely to take the phone, development-wise. Now that the new iPhone and the iPhone 2.0 software have been out for a few weeks, and there's been a whole new storm of praise and gripes raging, I thought it would be illuminating for me to re-visit my prognostications and take my lumps.

On a more serious note though, we Dutch finally got iPhone'd, and withint a few moments, the 5 iPhones Apple allocated to The Netherlands were sold out, and now there's a waiting list of 4 weeks.
I sneaked to my friendly neighbourhood Apple dealer, and I played for a short while with the 3G iPhone they had in the shop. It didn't blow me away or anything (it takes a whole lot to wow me) but I was still pretty much impressed. I totally hated the touchscreen bit (I generally have slightly sweaty hands, so do the math), but I think I could get used to it. The animations were nice, everything was fast, and overall, I was impressed.
