He wanted all that sort of stuff done through web pages in the beginning of the iPhone. At some point the first Apps came in through the jailbreakers and Apple decided there was a market.
I think the best thing Apple has done is to force a constant update cycle on the iPhone software that goes around the carriers. I have an Android, Samsung Moment, that is trapped in 2.1, The most current phone OS is 2.3 and my phone could easily be running 2.2 but Sprint doesn't want to pay Samsung for the upgrade. The result is I won't consider getting another Samsung phone even though their hardware is pretty good. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) *************************************** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO ** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***************************************
