Op dit punt, denk ik er werkelijk slechts drie wettige klachten over zijn iPhone:
1. Het loopt slechts bij de snelheden van de RAND. Zeker, snel laadt het pagina's zodra het verbindt, maar 3G zou het maken zingen.
2. De chroomvatting rond het scherm - iPod is de aanraking meer classier manier.
3. Het heeft aan één enkel netwerk in elk land gebonden waar het beschikbaar is.
Goed, volgens COO Tim Cook van Apple, misschien zullen wij niet met laatste voor moeten zeer lang leven (en wij allen bidden dat 3G nu komend om het even welke dag… is). Volgens MarketWatch, zeiden Cook dat Apple niet wedded aan het exclusieve, enig-drager bedrijfsmodel was.
Terwijl die geluiden zoals groot nieuws voor iedereen wie een iPhone op t-Mobiel wil, zijn betekenis eigenlijk onduidelijk is. Terwijl ik zou houden van te zeggen dat dit een duidelijke spleet met AT&T is en iPhones zal beginnen te knallen omhoog geopend voor iedereen direct van Apple, zou dat een leugen zijn.
Afwezig klinkt andere informatie, het aan me als Cook zegt meer dat Apple open is aan het brengen van iPhone aan nieuwe markten zonder het kloppen met een specifieke drager. Met andere woorden, kan Zuid-Afrika, u uw oogst van iPhonedragers hebben. Hoop het het uiteindelijk terug naar de V.S. maakt.

Apple heeft uitnodigt aan de pers voor een gebeurtenis „van de iPhoneSoftware roadmap“ op 6 Maart bij de Campus van Cupertino van Apple verzonden, volgens Engadget.
„Te sluiten aan zich gelieve bij ons om over de iPhonesoftware roadmap, met inbegrip van iPhone SDK te leren en sommige opwindende nieuwe ondernemingseigenschappen,“ nodigen zegt uit.
Hoop één van die „opwindende nieuwe ondernemingseigenschappen“ collectieve e-mail is. Voor me, is dat het grootste gat.
Opvallend door zijn afwezigheid is om het even welke vermelding van de de inleidingsdatum van SDK.

Apple has sent invites to the press for an “iPhone Software roadmap” event on March 6 at Apple’s Cupertino Campus, according to Engadget.
“Please join us to learn about the iPhone software roadmap, including the iPhone SDK and some exciting new enterprise features,” the invite says.
Let’s hope one of those “exciting new enterprise features” is corporate email. For me, that’s the biggest hole.
Conspicuous by its absence is any mention of the SDK’s introduction date.

The news we’ve been waiting on for more than a year has finally arrived. According to Gizmodo, Apple this morning sent out invitations to an event at Apple Town Hall in Cupertino on March 6th to launch the software developer kit for the iPhone. Of particular note on the “roadmap” image included with the invitation is the prominent sign reading “Enterprise.” This certainly connects with the rumblings of Lotus support that have emerged in the last few weeks, and I hope it means Exchange Active Sync support. If the iPhone has integrated push e-mail support for Exchange, Apple will really start to breathe down the necks of RIM, the top-selling North American smartphone maker. It would put Apple in line to really put iPhones in the pockets of a lot more executives immediately.
Very exciting. Stay tuned, folks. I really hope that Apple allows every application developer who’s interested to make their software available for the iPhone. That’s what’s made the underground iPhone app community so exciting - the sheer creativity of the freeware community.

I’ve confirmed that the iPhone no longer runs software applications as “root” — but the iPhone is still insecure, a security expert says.
As reported on Wired.com, the iPhone used to run all software applications as “root” until recently, a flawed architecture that could give hackers complete control of the device. If hackers found a hole in any application, they could take over other functions, using the iPhone to make calls, take pictures or read and send email.
But last month Apple released a firmware update, version 1.1.3, that put most of the major applications in a new account called “mobile.”
While this is better than running all applications in root, it still lumps the applications together, which doesn’t much improve things: The same vulnerability still exits. If any one application is compromised, they are all vulnerable — and the iPhone can still be taken over, says Charlie Miller, principal analyst of software security at Independent Security Evaluators.
Dr. Miller was one of the first security experts to document the iPhone’s flawed architecture.
In a response to an email query sent yesterday, Dr. Miller writes:
Actually, the important apps have not been running as root at least since 1.1.3. See below. This is obviously better than running everything as root.
However, now they seem to run everything unimportant as the user “mobile”.
This doesn’t really solve their security problems because, for example, someone gaining access through a web server attack will still be able to access emails, dial the phone, etc. (At least it appears this way, I haven’t verified this).
A better approach would have been one like the folks at Google took with their Android SDK.
There, every application runs as a separate user in their own directory.
Therefore, each application cannot access the data of another application without the system having explicitly been told to allow it.
In the above example, an attacker who gains access to an Android phone through the web browser could only access things the web browser deals with, such as bookmarks.
They would not have access to mail contacts, saved messages, SMS messages, etc. (at least without doing a second type of attack).
Hope that helps.

Why was the iPhone architected like this, I asked Dr. Miller? His reply: “I think they did it that way because it was the easiest and quickest way to do it. They had a deadline, they had a great product and they wanted to get it out the door and start making money. Clearly, by not running things as root, they are going back and trying to make the things more secure now that the phones are out and in use. However, adding security after the fact if much more difficult (and expensive) then designing it in from the start.”
