It is OS X, but Apple is worried that being too open will invite the types of crashes we know all too well when running our desktop and laptop computers. Looks like Apple thinks that level of instability is unacceptable in a phone. So Apple has blocked many on the usual ways to get programs onto the iPhone. Developers have to work through the Safari browser and Safari has Flash and other goodies disabled. Of course that may just be a temporaty situation. Hackers have already figured how to unlock the iPhone so it can be used for its non-music functions without an AT&T contract. More will certainly follow. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
