This is the home page for the iPhone Evaluation Project space.
Overview
The Apple iPhone will be available on June 29, 2007. Anticipating the potential popularity of the iPhone, IS&T initiated an iPhone Evaluation Project.
Apple's iPhone is one of the most anticipated mobile devices in recent history. While the full details are yet unknown, iPhone promises a number of revolutionary features that might benefit the MIT users. These include "real operating system" leveraging OS X, "full" web browsing capability, widgets, multi-touch user interface, etc.
The goal of the project is to investigate the viability of the Apple iPhone within the MIT environment and to share the findings with the community. The evaluation will include email, calendar, contacts, certificates, web browsing, and other features that are essential to MIT mobile device users. The project will also investigate ways to make the iPhone work with these features and document the findings. The project is expected to be completed by the end of July.
Timeline
The evaluation project is scheduled to begin in early July, 2007 as soon as iPhone devices can be obtained and set up for the testing team.
The evaluation team will initially meet in the week of July 9 and hold weekly meetings till the end of July, 2007.
