Apple's posted results just shy of $10b for the last quarter of 2007. Helped in no small part by Christmas iPhone sales.
With around 4 Million handsets sold around the world we appear to be entering a mobile renaissance, could 2008 really will be the year for mobile?
At a visit to Apple recently they shared some pretty staggering, but as far as I can see unverified figures, about people's web usage on the iPhone. If the numbers are to be believed you should start to think about how your website is optimised for Apple's Safari browser which, given the Nokia browser is based in part on the same open source code, might not be such a bad idea...
The Software Developers Kit for the iPhone should be available at the end of February 2008 but here's a couple of resources to get you started.
A good overview on developing for the iPhone can be found (unsurprisingly) on Apple's site and if you want to know how to create a cool looking iPhone webclip when someone bookmarks your website on an iPhone check out this video tutorial from Fasticon
How will this affect advertising revenue I wonder (in the mobile tech. world) ?

Funnily enough at the recent Google "above and beyond" conference they promised that it really was going to be the year for mobile. It was said in a way which made it clear they knew they had said it before but they seemed sincere enough. The funny part was, almost in the same breath the presenter told people not to allocate huge budgets to the channel.
