What’s Most Important

Michael Gartenberg:

There’s certainly been a lot of speculation about what Apple will or will not announce on Monday when Steve Jobs takes the stage at their Worldwide Developers Conference. (There’s also this event going on next week but I don’t think anyone has noticed). Whether there’s a new iPhone (that perhaps supports 3G) is interesting but not what’s important. The real important news next week is news we already know. The iPod and iPhone have now become a software platform.

I think the onstage demos of third-party iPhone apps (perhaps particularly games) are going to blow people away.
