Disappointed? I would be too if I bought an iPhone!

You have all heard it, the newly released firmware 1.1.1 for the iPhone is out and gives you a cool wireless iTunes store but it also has locked down the ability to use third party applications after the iPhone update.  It’s sad, very sad that Apple, in their infinite knowledge of knowing what is best for the consumer, would take away that one aspect that could propel this device into greatness.

B&A

Coders from all over the world have developed applications that have made the iPhone the device of choice for many but now it is becoming the device to "put in the drawer".  Of all the articles that I have read over the past two days, Brian Lam’s article "iPhone Revisited (Verdict: Don’t Buy)" sums it all up the best.  Take the time to read this piece … it is well worth it.

video You also might want to catch this video of a poor guy who found out that since he applied a 3rd party application, he is SOL!  That’s right, "Once you put 3rd party applications on, it’s no longer supported by Apple".  The look on his face when he realized that he made a very expensive mistake makes you feel for him.

One can only hope that the world of hackers are smarter than Apples’s coders and will help Jean(and others) bring his  device back to life….

Well, while you are reading Brian’s article and watching the video, I’m going to install a new 3rd party application on my Palm 750Microsoft just does it better!

    For the ten millionth time, the iPhone does not support third party applications. If someone figures out a way around it, then apple goes and removes the lack of support once again, this is not a terrible surprise.

    It's a shame that the iphone is locked down. But so is my xbox 360 - are people going, "WAAAH I CAN'T INSTALL SOFTWARE ON MY XBOX 360!"

    No, they sit down and play games on it like it's designed for.
