Third Party Applications on the iPhone
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the
iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers

Not unless prices on iPhones drop significantly. Many people just don't use
any 3rd-party applications on their phone in the first place
-- probably at
least 2/3rd of them: They're buying a phone based on what it can do "out of
the box" and price.
But I agree it's good news that Apple's opening up the iPhone to proper
development.

The reason most people don't use phones with 3rd party apps is because
they didn't come installed in them.
And then they'd need to pay extra for any of the good (i.e. stable)
programs and have to go through a download and installation process.

As always, you just don't get it....
Example:
Blackberry = business tool
iPhone = cool toy - NOT a business tool (unless radically changed in the
future)
Bottom line, your prediction based on today's facts is stupid.
As usual.

It also applies to the iPod Touch.
For anyone wanting an advanced highly portable computer, but doesn't
need the additional features of the iPhone (or the long term contract)
this makes the iPod Touch even more interesting.
The PDA market isn't as large as the cellphone market, but the iPod
Touch, iPhone or a future slightly larger model with full PDA
functionality and third party application support will be very
competitive with other brands and platforms, and could easily take over
that market.

Just the above statement proves you don't have even a fraction of an actual clue.
Everything runs as root on an iPhone, which will keep 95%% plus percent
of the (smart anyway) IT depts away - and most do and will BAN the pretty (but flawed) toy.
They won't give a shit if 3rd party apps are loaded. The DEVICE is flawed.
You can go on and on and on like you do - you have less than ZERO credibility at this point.
Every post continues to proves it - again and again.
Like this one... Just another fantasy based wish from a deluded, fanatic fanboy.

You're making the mistake of comparing the iPhone's price to the price
of other phones. You might want to consider that the iPhone in the first
phone on the market which can reasonably take the place of an iPod, and
look at what people will happily pay for iPods.
(And yes, I'm quite aware there have been other music player phones, but
as we see in the music player market itself, most people don't consider
other music players to be reasonable iPod substitutes.)
