Hello Mike:
" As far as I'm concerned I feel the same today as I did the day it
launched. Cool interface, but won't touch it with a ten foot pool due to the
way they're locked it down, lock you to a carrier and are keeping third
party apps locked out. Also I've heard a few complaints on battery life and
the touch screen going flakey. Too many new components, maybe consider the
next generation. That is if it isn't so locked down and after all the
squabbling is over. Nah, wait for an OpenMoko phone. "
Well said! "....... and are keeping third party apps locked out" -- is
the only point that has convinced me from not getting one... unless someone
comes up with a way to do it!
Yesterday's exploit for doing so involved preparing a specially crafted
TIFF file that exploited a buffer overflow in the version of Safari on
the iPhone to install 3d party version of "terminal", then they could
install anything.
It's gotta be easier to port OpenMoko to that hardware than to go
through all these hoops, but I guess some people like pain :-) or the
rush of "veektory" when they get around today's update-installed
restrictions.
