I think we can all be aware that the hacking community will find a way
to run homebrew software.
We can see it on the PSP, I would be very surprised if we wouldn't see
it happening on the iphone.

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?
