Not true. I'm not a very committed free software geek, I like the GPL, I run linux on my home desktop, yet I develop closed source software for a living. What I hate however is being limited in what *I* can do with *my* hardware. Lately i've been looking into getting a handheld GPS unit. Now there is going to be a handheld GPS which is also able to make phone calls. And it will run ssh and irc clients. And I will not get charged once again when I use a song as ringtone as well. Now that is what I call added value. Besides, the iPhone is not even available here...
