Microsoft could bring Office suite, other apps to the iPhone
Fortune Magazine reports that a team of Microsoft developers has been poring over the iPhone SDK. While the company still has to determine whether it would make business sense to develop for the iPhone, doing so shouldn't be hard. After all, Apple is licensing Microsoft's ActiveSync and Exchange Server technology to provide push email capabilities.
What Microsoft applications would you like to see for the iPhone? We're going to assume Office Mobile is a given, but what about Windows Live Messenger? What we're really hoping for is Virtual PC 2007, but we're not going to hold our breath.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

Live Messenger, Live Maps, IE7 Mobile, Remote Desktop, and probably mostly WinLive services for the iPhone, since I guess Apple has most of the other software parts done pretty well. MS is probably going to want to expand their internet services onto the iPhone.
I'm kinda doubting Office mobile. Office Mobile on WinMo phones is more like editing files on the go, rather than creating. So it's kinda pointless to me.

I always thought that the iPhone would be AWESOME if i could pair the apple bluetooth keyboard to it. It'd be a very compact resource for things like taking notes in class. If it had a simple version of Office on it, that'd be beautiful.

Terminal services would rock.
