A Mac Mini Enthusiast Network

Apple has released the 2.0.2 software update for the iPhone and iPod touch.

What could a social networking application do to break into what is quickly becoming a saturated market? Answers on a postcard.

Once way it could do it would be to do on the iPhone. Loads of iPhone apps are breaking new ground in existing markets and there is no reason at all why social networking should be any different.

So it is with the latest of these ground breaking iPhone apps: iPling. If you’ve not heard of iPling then you could be forgiven. It has only just been released and is aimed at the latest 3G iPhone.

But is just being on the iPhone enough? Probably. There are a lot of punters out there that buy iPhone apps just for the sake of buying them. Not only will this give the iPling makers a much needed boost to the coffers but it will raise the total number of users on the network. Getting a good body of users is the step where most social networks fail, so this is a much welcomed boost for iPling.

Who knows? Maybe iPling could become the next Facebook or MySpace. Certainly iPhone apps have been treated with similar fervor in the past, so why shouldn’t it happen now? Watch this space.
