What’s your iPhone good for? Check out this amazing list

by dirkthecow on October 26, 2009

“Let’s face it, the Internet was designed for the PC. The Internet is not designed for the iPhone.(Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer)

Yep, that would be right Steve. In fact, maybe you should check out this awesome presentation by Norwegian digital strategist Helge Tenno about all the things smart phones supposedly can’t do.

A really comprehensive list, with plenty of apps I certainly hadn’t heard of, I liked Helge’s parallel at the end of how the mobile Internet and smart phones is now at the same stage we were at when people ditched ISDN for broadband. Something that ultimately proved to be behaviour changing.

Thanks Helge, a really awesome presentation - we need to ship you over here to give us a training course as mine look suitably stone age in comparison!

Thanks :o)
My schooling is in Photography and I started of in the business as a designer, so I might have some advantages :)
