The iPhone Changes Everything(again)
Greg Raiz - Raizlabs
Five things to take away(About the 3.0 update)
• Bluetooth = Social• Location, Location, Location
• Hardware ♥ Software• Push & Shove• Music, Apps, You
Bluetooth is SocialMetcalfe's law
Location, Location, Location
Everyone is somewhere, it probably matters
Hardware ♥ Software
If it has a chip, there will be an app for that
