different product though. Most business HAVE to use Windows to run  
their business, they have NO other choice. It's an iPhone, there are  
TONS of other phones out there. People are just frustrated because  
they WANT to use apples cool new device to run their software, which  
is understandable. I had a windows smartphone, sure people can make  
other browsers for it, but there were none... Rumors of a version of  
Opera but I don't think that ever happened.

I want the iPhone platform to succeed, it will succeed by being  
different. Yes, I want to install all sorts of programs too, but at  
this point the platform is not ready for Jo Blow to install Firefox  
with Tom(sorry tom), Dick and Harry's crap ass plugin's that cause the  
phone to crash. Or Sun's sh*ty port of Java that leaks memory all over  
the place. That is not good for the public image of a platform that  
needs to grow.

I'm sure this is not as bad as everyone is making it out to be, people  
are going off on all sorts of tangents, we will see what the reality  
is. For instance they said you can use Skype but only over wi-fi,  
which makes sense etc...
