And I thought I should mention – I’m so annoyed this doesn’t come out over here in the UK sooner!! :-o

I’m sure Apple have music purchase on the go in the works, after all, it wouldn’t be that hard using the iPhone’s WiFi capability, to have the iPhone automatically copy ‘purchased-on-the-go’ tracks onto the Mac/PC, and vice-versa.

As for the 3rd-party apps, I’m sure this must be a mistake. Either that, or Apple are plain crazy (which, when you look at how well thought through the phone is, I highly doubt).

Both of these are features consumers want, and if they don’t arrive when the iPhone ships, they will arrive at some point.

Thats my $0.02.

You’ll probably buy one? =P

Well, I believe we are going to see some third party apps, in a later incarnation of the SW. First off, there’s clearly room in the menu for some extra icons, and we’ve seen it done for the iPod (games).

I agree with you on the wireless syncing and iTunes store, though… Being able to purchase music on-the-go would probably be one of the killer apps for me…

That simply doesn’t make sense to me. At all. I would like to have been able to write my own little Apps for my phone, or have things like Skype on it. Why not? Windows Mobile 5 is open for other devs…

The Closed source, closed platform approach is not cool.
