No, but it might spawn an interesting conversation about the pros and
cons of the iPhone allowing (or not, as the case may be) 3rd party
apps...
Or any phone, for that matter. How many wireless services allow their
customers to use apps that come from outside of their respective walled
gardens?
that isn't always the case. I think this really hurts the development and adoption of innovative
new applications for these devices, personally. I know if I had a handheld device such
as a Treo or an OpenMoko, one of the first things I'd start thinking about is "what apps
can I put on here to help me manage and access data."
What I find appealing is having a wireless data connection means that I can deal with data
on a server somewhere and not have to deal with synchronization issues; kinda like storing
bookmarks on del.icio.us so you always have the same bookmarks available no matter where
you are. Looking forward, I also see some appeal in the idea of the "home server" and would want to
be able to program my handheld to interact with my server in useful ways.
TTYL,
Phil
