O’Reilly Radar on Jaiku and iPhone
October 1st, 2007
Tim O’Reilly’s got a lovely a post titled I love my iPhone, but…bah, no Jaiku! on O’Reilly Radar.
Tim writes that as he switched from a Nokia S60 phone to an iPhone, he found himself missing Jaiku’s presence-enabled phonebook for the Nokia handsets.
“This is the way a phone address book ought to work. I continue to think that the address book is one of the great untapped Web 2.0 opportunities, and that the phone, even more than email and IM, and certainly more than an outside-in, invitation-driven “social networking application” represents my real social network. On the series 60 phone, Jaiku was able to embrace and extend the address book. That’s just not possible on the iPhone.”
It’s a great read, and a nice nudge towards Apple.

The unavailabilty of Jaiku is a main reason not to shift for me.

I think we can all agree that growing Jaiku to do this with other phone types would be a great thing.

Jaiku seems to be very interesting. Now they are telling about it In MindTrek Conference in Tampere, Finland. But is it possible to make money with Jaiku possiblble to make money with Jaiku?

Well, since Apple is close to Google and Jaiku is now part of Google, let’s hope that Jaiku will be one of the first 3rd party apps available on the iPhone .. which btw probably will happen long before we even see an iPhone here in Luxembourg…

OK. Fact: feature not possible on the I-phone.
With the Google/Jaiku deal it’s now in the hands of Jyri’s team to add this feature on the G-phone. I would like to order this G-phone right now.

Here in the Philippines the telco infrastructure is still low tech so most services still relies on SMS rather than 3G.
