iPhone as a service enabler

Apple is developing a range of applications in partnership with other companies such as Intel and Cisco to enable the iPhone to interact with other devices. This surely opens a door to create a number of services and applications around the iPhone. For example, Cisco is developing a software that enables iPhone user to ‘flick’ documents to their desktop computers.

Looking ahead, iPhones could be used as electronic wallets or virtual keys to access other services.
