Articles on iPhone as SW platform.
wmseto | 15 September, 2008 05:58
These are the articles related to iPhone as (open) platform in the pass few days, and all seems to be sparked by Podcaster application...
Apple Rep says: Since Podcaster assists in the distribution of podcasts, it duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes.
Dave Winer / Scripting News:
Why iPhone is an ureliable platform — I wouldn't invest in or develop an iPhone app because Apple could decide not to approve it, and if they don't approve it you can't sell it. You can't even give it away. You don't find out if you've been approved until the last step …
Michael Arrington / TechCrunch:
Of Course You'll Keep Developing For The iPhone — Developers like Frasier Speirs and Dave Winer are protesting Apple's rejection of some iPhone applications, and saying they will no longer develop on the platform (let's leave aside the fact that as far as I know Winer never developed for the iPhone in the first place).
John Gruber / Daring Fireball:

Philip Elmer-DeWitt / Apple 2.0:
iPhone: Big trouble in the App Store — Last month, Apple triggered a minor rebellion among iPhone developers when it was revealed that the company was rejecting submissions to its App Store retail outlet without explaining why. — This week the company faces a full-scale revolt
Charles Arthur / Technology blog:
Blockage on iPhone apps begins to properly annoy developers

I'm writing this on "the funnest iPod ever" so I cannot copy paste the relevant URL (feature not supported) but if you Google for "pull my finger iPhone" you will find yet another case of an application rejected by Apple.
openess

At the end of the day openess should extend to the customer who should be able to install anything they want from anywhere. Restrictive practices only serve to restrict innovation.

hi..
iphone is a very nice phone with the very good appearance but one problem with this is there is no forward option in messages... to do this we need to get an extra software which costs too much...
