I completely agree with the following article: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9008439 If you disagree I would still recommend reading that article, it provides a good debate from another point of view. Although the phone looks really hot, have you seen what LG have been up to? http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/13/video-of-lgs-ke850-its-no-poser/ And if you wondering who might have copied who? Just take a look at LG's release dates... Steve Jobs blew it with his loud mouth…

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I really believe that the iPhone will reach a crtical mass, and I base this on the success of the iPod. Sure, the iPhone is expensive, but the price will drop eventually.

Oh yes, so the best way to solve that is to write apps for a device that will take at least a year to capture 1% of the market, if it ever does.

No third-party apps. And Jobs even made some BS up why we do not want them…

Why is it BS?

Imagine the cool things you could do if they even would get an API to access the phone book and make calls or send SMS…

If they're anything like Dashboard Widgets, then not only will they be able to access the web but also use hooks into the iPhones OS. I did notice that the two Widgets demonstrated by Steve Jobs only accessed data from the Web - Weather and Financial. So maybe you can't - yet ;) - hook into the iPhone's OS like you can on a regular Mac. The good news for Web app developers: the iPhone supports Widgets.
