I'm sure we all agree that "software" is the cause of many problems
in the world today. It's awesome that Apple is able to make a phone
that doesn't use it!
Also, cellular networks aren't awesomely rugged, but it's a shame
they weren't able to figure out any way to partition user space from
machine space to prevent bad things from happening. Someday, maybe
someone will invent an operating system that can do that. Meanwhile,
i guess the network is at great risk from all those other non-iPhone
phones that could take down the west coast.
I knew about the closed-ness of the phone, but hadn't seen this
quote. Has Steve Jobs finally jettisoned the last remaining shred of
his own credibility?
We're not going to be writing apps for the iPhone. Can the discussion
move on to devices that can be safely programmed without taking out
GSM service in Long Beach?

"In an interview with the New York Times, Steve Jobs confirms
reports that the recently-announced iPhone will not allow third
party applications to be installed. According to Jobs, 'These are
devices that need to work, and you can't do that if you load any
software on them.' In a similar vein, Jobs said in a MSNBC article
that, 'Cingular doesn't want to see their West Coast network go
down because some application messed up."

There has been no mention of implications for app developers to
create apps for
the iPhone. Surely, this is running a stripped down version of OS
X Leopard.
Will the advent of Dashcode for mobile widget development and
Mobile OS X
Leopard, enable Apple to open up for developers. It would be very
unwise to have a closed system.
It is also going to be very interesting on what and how Apple will
open this up (APIs) and I hope
they don't close this like the iPod was (but that was not running
OS X). I hope Apple
addresses developers soon and open up an ecosystem and coherent
plan for developers
soon.
Thoughts? Did anyone go to any of the MacWorld developer talks?
