아이폰이 궁금한 이유는
Tracked from iArchives 삭제역사기록물 관리 관련한 일을 하면서 아이폰에 유달리 관심이 생기는 이유는 사실 좀 복잡하다. 홍보의 문제, 역사기록물에 관한 소식을 효과적으로 배포할 수 있는 문제 문제는 여전히 생태계란 말이야, 멍충아! 문제는 개별 디바이스나 아이튠즈 등의 단일 어플리케이션이 아니라 그것들이 서로 연결되는 생태계

This is a technical answer to only part of a business problem.
I think that Apps are the new Singles and AppStore transforms the whole business the way iTunes changed digital music -- talking about digital formats wasn't relevant once there was a complete ecosystem change.
Whatever is done to make it easier to develop apps on J2ME, the problems still exist from the consumer side. No matter how many of those devices are in the field if few apps are going to be purchases on them anyway.
Discovery, purchase, installation and use are still so much more difficult than on the iPhone that sales are severely limited compared to what will be seen with the AppStore. Not to mention the costs of revenue sharing with carriers and the issues dealing with pSMS for developer and consumer alike.
The best reason to develop for AppStore has nothing to do with shiny new technology and everything to do with a good business case to develop with the least hassle to reach the largest possible number of consumers actually likely to find and buy your app with a good percentage of that revenue going to the developer.
