Thanks Ric, Not the answer I wanted but maybe there will be an alternative on the market or a change of policy. My daughter just got an iPhone and I am well impressed; GPS (street names!), Google Earth, Hotmail, any other website, and an amazing app whose name I can't remmeber that can "listen" to a song on the radio or CD, and tell you what track it is and the name of the artist!
Combine that with a video & still camera, and loads of other useful apps and you have a gizmo I'm finding it hard to resist! I just wish it could run J (I don't understand ssh!). Oh, you can also use it as a phone!
