Actually I need some slogan help...I'll send you an note. Exactly, and since the iPhone does bluetooth and Wi-fi, who even needs to plug the device in.

Dare I say, use Apple each day, keep the doctor away? Lord, if they take that slogan, I want my cut. I am SMACKdown good at slogans. :) p.s. Dare I say, use Apple each day, keep the doctor away?

Seriously, though, I can easily imagine all kinds of useful sensors (blood pressure, glucose, thermometer, heart rate, oximeter) plugging into an iPod Touch or iPhone via USB, and transmitting their news to the mother ship somewhere. Next question: who's going to invent something so damned smart that it can detect slight but significant perturbations in bodily data, turning the iPhone into a WellMeter? Or, more likely, turning it into a multi-function remote sensor for a big smart wellness monitor? (A bi-directional one, btw.) I keep thinking of SFox's <a href="http://www.e-patients.net/archives/2008/03/recruit_doctors.html" rel="nofollow">Go Mobile</a>, egged on by the reality that a lot of the world is cellular not webbed - especially the economically disadvantaged. And that leads me to wonder about a $99 Apple health sensor. Dude… not as exclusive as us deBronkarts…

News like this about developers high interest is very exciting. I think what we’ll sea come June will be an announcement from Apple with a massive list of native apps for us.

I didn't have a sense from the comments in the audience - I think there were definitely handheld developers that were moving to iPhone, or at least catching the wave. For that group, it makes sense, with the better economics and capabilities of this device, in my opinion. That’s a very good question.

I've heard about it through various channels but I haven't heard of any major Mac developers who have talked about it, so it'd be interesting to know if most of the people were actually new to Cocoa.
