Calling all Nokia & Symbian geniuses: Am I wrong?
I too am interested in the price and hopefully the unlocking ability will still be there, to allow me to use the 3G iPhone with 3 (which can't be done with the existing version).
Proper official 3G iPhone on 3 would be excellent though.
Apple have made a ton of cash and cachet off the jailbroken market hack-lock-hack cycles, and it's the 3rd-party apps more than anything that have kept the wheels spinning on the iPhone media hype wagon. I don't necessarily want the Apple-approved apps - I like the little guy, the innovator. Google Maps or Navizon? built-in email picture or SendPics?.
Great if their ideas prove so popular that they move into the big time with an official SDK build / deal, but blocking 3rd party apps and making Apple the gatekeepers will do no good.
All this said, the Apple stuff will likely be eye-wateringly nice and simple, integrated and more than good enough for Normobs, so the whinings of one nostalgic for the kudos of early jailbreaks (wow - I broke it in only 3 hours using 10 different scripts!) means nothing.
/m
Actually more interested in whether there's a MacBook Pro announcement, is it sacrilegious to confess that here?
fine... it's all related ;-)
