[Sigia-l] iPhone - apple only software?

[tOM Trottier]

"We define everything that is on the phone," he[Steve Jobs] said. "You don't want your phone to 
be like a PC. The last thing you want is to have loaded three apps on your phone and then you go 
to make a call and it doesn't work anymore. These are more like iPods than they are like 
computers."

The iPhone model, he insisted, would not look like the rest of the wireless industry.

"These are devices that need to work, and you can't do that if you load any software on them," he 
said. "That doesn't mean there's not going to be software to buy that you can load on them 
coming from us. It doesn't mean we have to write it all, but it means it has to be more of a 
controlled environment."

             sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful,

               whosoever will think of it. --Thomas
