Again – anything with an SDK…

So, iPhone OS3.0 is coming.  Updates to the SDK, rumoured tethering via Bluetooth and USB, what more could you want?

But wait – look at the date they’re releasing it – 17th March – 1 day before Mix 09.  Any chance MS has finally managed to get Silverlight onto the iPhone?

Not sure what that would mean for their flagging mobile OS, but it sure would be a massive boost for Silverlight!

I have to say – tethering is one of those last things that the phone needs.  A longer battery life would help too, but I’m assuming we’ll see new hardware soon.  As it also has Exchange Sync, the iPhone is becoming a serious contender for Enterprise Phone.

So, is this just a dream, or does Microsoft have a plan to get their Mobile strategy going, that includes the most unlikely of partners?
