During the month of June Idealist is doing something special for the nonprofit community.

With the release of iPhone 2.0 this summer, nonprofits will have the chance to forge new relationships by building applications that connect beyond the norm. Unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, the new iPhone 3G will allow Mac users to develop their own applications; adding to the ever-changing landscape of online social networking. How will this affect the nonprofit sector? What impact will these developments have on our projects, online marketing efforts and community building?
