As far as I know only programs designed by Apple will run on the iPhone. Apple are not letting third partys to develop apps for it.

I'm sure i heard Steve Jobs say in his keynote that there going to be giving developers iPhones so they can start developing software for it straight away once it is released.

Apple announced at last weeks World Wide Developer Conference, that third-party apps can be created for the iPhone:

iPhone to Support Third-Party Web 2.0 Applications

The only difference is that these are Web 2.0 apps, not specific OS X apps.

There's a few already available:

OneTrip - Safari or Firefox needed

Nice improvements, but I'm still not buying one until

  • it has a SIM card slot
  • it's sold unlocked and unbranded
  • it has worldwide-usable 3G
  • Apple allows 3rd-party native application development


I would also like to see a user-replaceable battery and a memory card slot, but I won't hold my breath.

Until than, I'm holding out hope for a US-3G-compatible Nokia N95. It's a much better value.



getyourself a 'green phone by trolltek' it's linux based, and allows you to modify every aspect of your mobile

It does have a slot for a SIM card. It's a GSM phone. How would it work without?

Unfortunately, uninformed people post things without checking facts.

ahhh, perhaps a silly question, but, what happens when you drop your phone on a concrete suface for example? the glass would break (shatter?) easily, no?

massive brilliant screen, unique "revolutionary" UI (OSX based).. lots of onboard storage.. (only a few phones can match this today), wifi and a pretty complete package as a cellphone... a few things are missing and it may not be for everyone but the potential is there...

I wonder how the improved talk and standby times translate into real world usage though. That screen looks like a huge battery eater.
