There are many things Elizabeth Woyke gets wrong in this latest “iPhone 3G pandemonium” post trying to say the developers are still shy of writing apps for iPhone 3G, with the focus being on developers who are working on location based apps (using iPhone 3G’s assisted GPS).

The first is that the applications will be installed via Appstore, and not iTunes store. They are two separate things. Appstore will be built into every phone, and will be separate. Hence, the scenario of users syncing multiple iPhones to one iTunes account to install an app multiple times but just paying once doesn’t arise. I’m very sure Apple has considered this and using some sort of unique identification for iPhones, they can block this kinda of behaviour.

Navigation isn’t the only application of GPS. Twitterrific for iPhone is a perfect example. Applications can keep a thread of connection open to receive data and constantly update themselves, which Woyke has gotten blatantly wrong.

All in all, the article is just a step short of jacktastic and miles ahead of sensationalism without cause.
