During the iPhone Software Roadmap Event on March 6, 2008, Apple showed a total of 29 applications—10 in some demonstrated form, 9 on a list of additional sample programs, and 10 on what appeared to be a mocked-up list of third-party applications. Though these applications won’t be available until late June or later, if at all, we’ve assembled a complete list of what was shown for curious readers and developers to consider. Some are definitely going to be released; others may serve as inspirations to companies looking for ideas Apple considered worth including on stage.
Apple-Demonstrated iPhone Applications
Ten applications were shown on stage by Apple’s Scott Forstall and five third-party companies. The applications range from pure demonstrations to early versions of sure-to-be-released titles, as described further below.
Epocrates Drug Reference Application: Designed for medical professionals, this application consisted of several pieces, a Drug Lookup table with photos, dosing, drug formulation information, warnings, adverse reactions, and other details; MultiCheck, which lets physicians determine whether harmful interactions will result from adding a new medication to a patient who is already on other medications; and Identify Drug, which lets you enter several characteristics of a drug into the Epocrates RX system to find matching medications. This is likely to actually be released; Epocrates states that it will be free.
