Apple's said several times in several ways that the platform is closed? Don't
belittle people! Why is this list going all gushy over this single product -
that's all it is, a product - just because Steve J whipped one out of his
trousers and once you saw it, you wanted one in your pants too? Apple has
never made money with open hardware and it doesn't appear they're about to
upend a profitable business model.
There are plenty of other wireless commodity devices in the world that can be
programmed. Why not spend some energy on discussing those instead, and leave
the productgasms on fanboy lists?
There are people working on Linux on Treo. I will admit what we saw of the
hardware looked pretty nice, and that I also would like embedded OSX.
However, 1) I'm not buying one now, and 2) until someone figured out how
to get into the thing it's not interesting. Many people say many things.
Doesn't make them right even if they built the hardware.
How's your Pentium 75 at math?
