Phillip,

Something like,

 "It's really a shame Apple isn't currently opening up the iPhone for
 3rd party development.  It seems like a missed opportunity to me."

is more likely to generate a conversation than this "whine":

 "Umm, hello, but what freaking good is a handheld computing /
 communication device if you can't run your chosen application(s)
 on it / write applications for it?"

You're smart, so I'm sure you can see the difference.  If you're
going to whine, then you'll need to be prepared for the consequences.
If you want to start a conversation, then start a conversation, but
please, leave the whining at home.

Cheers,
Tanner
