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.

Well I was kind of skeptical as well until I got a chance to play with an iPod touch for 45 minutes. While I'm in no way ready to declare the death of hardware buttons, it really needs to be said that Apple's particular touch screen solution really does work. They really did nail it. Especially for browsing the web it worked far better than I expected.
That being said my dream iPhone would still have some sort of sliding out hardware qwerty keyboard, but I in no way consider it a necessity.
