Reduce or Increase his bottom line??He gets to sell millions of more phones to people who want the phones but do not want to change providers just to get the phone! On the site they said in Europe, apple is only talking to Vodaphone and T-Mobile, yet Orange wants in and has been rebuffed. So the large French market has to switch to either Vodaphone or T-Mobile to get an iPhone. It would actually make sense for Orange to secretly pay hackers to get the phone working on their network.
Also Steve had unfortunately started out by saying that Apple would not allow people to write apps for the phone and that only apple would. Well now with the root password and knowing the processor you have all you need to write apps!
This is great for the device. I think by the end of the month widgets (small apps that get their data off the internet) will be available for the iPhone whether apple likes it or not.
The phone gets better the more open it is. Steve is shouting for DRM free music, so lets have a restriction free iPhone first :-)
