I don't mean to start a long thread, but feel a need to point out that 
there are numerous sources from which I may obtain apps for my Palm. In 
truth, there are multiple sources for Windows software, too.
    But Apple, I think, controls what software is approved, and how you 
may get it (iTunes store) and how you may put it on your device (iTunes 
being the sole conduit). And should Apple later decide a piece of 
software (remember the Napster days) is problematic, the company can 
simply disable it the next time you sync your iPhone - the way Microsoft 
effectively banned Internet access to at least thousands of users yesterday.
    Yes, the MS problem was fixable, but it does point out a capability.
    Anyway, I'm not saying don't buy an iPhone. I may, myself, if the 
software I need shows up to run on it.
