When will Apple learn? People want to use their handsets their way. Apple keeps thinking that iPhones are just iPods with a cell phone in them. They are wrong. iPhones are a cell phone with iPods in them. And people customize their cell phones, and they do it any way they want. People will not let their phones be limited or controlled by the manufacturer, and they will continually find ways around it.
Get with it, Apple! Open up the iPhone and watch it prosper more than ever.
Gizmodo reports that 2.0 has the following changes:
Whats new? Visible changes are:
• Exchange Support
• Appstore
• Parental Controls
• SDK Support
• Calculator is more advanced
• CISCO VPN support
• Mail mass deletionFeatures not included:
• There is no spotlight icon
Shame about the spotlight icon. No searching. Still Apple? Really? Get with the 90’s.

Interesting post, i think what apple have done with the iphone is ridiculous. blocking out some many possibilities and extra sales. companies should listen to the buyers for once.

Apple has always been weird about opening up their source coding. Can’t expect anything different with their phone I guess.

Thanks for the comments!
Yeah. It is rather amusing.. for all that Apple hates Microsoft that are starting to behave more and more like them every day.
