iPhone SDK

Well its been a while since I’ve done a blog namely needing something to find that caught my interest. The big thing recently has been the announcement of the new iPhone SDK that allows third party developers to make applications on the iPhone available to the public. I will admit that I personally do not have an iPhone nor do I have any intention of getting one as there are several reasons. The first reason is that I would be locked into AT&T wireless for at least two years. With my previous experience with AT&T has now been one that is of good standing.

My Second problem with the IPhone stems from the fact that I am a fan of open source, while Apple tries to be different then their competitors in the end they are just the same as the old school IBM, Microsoft proprietary software and hardware. However saying that I will not deny that Apple provides the best customer support that I have ever had to deal with. So while I tend to go more towards Linux as my OS of choice I am not oblivious to the good system that Apple has. Its just not my personal cup of tea. I personally believe that if Apple really wants the iPhone to be a bigger success like the iPod then It has to be made available to more then just one wireless carrier. It has to be allowed to be more opened up then it is right now as far as third party applications. That’s my take on it; what do you guys think?
