No, this isn't the story of π, the mathematical constant. But it is the story
of a calculated direction, that goes on, and on, and on....
In 2007, Apple Computer introduced the iPhone, which since has been revolutionizing the mobile industry space. In truth, it is probably a misnomer to call the iPhone merely a "mobile phone", as the iPhone is really much more than that. The iPhone is really a mobile computing device, powered by an OS X operating system, and suitable for rich, complex, and compute-intensive applications for individuals and the enterprise, and for entertainment, informational, or business purposes.
Software developers have always loved the bleeding edge of technology. But even in being out in front of the technology curve, developers are typically working on long-established platforms and toolsets. A brand new development platform comes along only occasionally over the course of a career, but when it does, it represents a tremendous opportuntiy to pursue once impossible ideas, to experiment, and to create. It also provides the ability to create new markets with new applications. The iPhone IS such a platform.
We, the members of Pi, are Phoenix-area based developers joined together for the purpose of both teaching and learning to develop on the iPhone (and iPod Touch) platform, networking with other iPhone developers, and producing the best iPhone applications on the market.
Our group name is the [P]hoenix [i]Phone Developer Group, from which we get the
nickname, "Pi", which like the mathematical constant π, is a value that keeps
going and going and going....
So in conclusion, thanks Apple! Perhaps it is true what they say:
"An Apple a day..."
