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 deletion

Features not included:

• There is no spotlight icon

Shame about the spotlight icon. No searching. Still Apple? Really? Get with the 90’s.
