No third party apps. Verizon turned them down. The iPhone is

I'm not an Apple fan boy but a lot of people said pretty much the
same thing about the iPod.


Different markets. Everybody's phone is already a music player. The
difference is the interface, that's where the iPod scored. But now
they want $500 for a phone and music player combined. And I'm not
allowed to put other programs on it. No way, no how.

I agree the price is silly but it won't hold at that price for long and I'm
not 100% sure it is going to be completely locked as a lot of phones are
because it is going to be running a version of the Mac OS.

And you are right that the interface is what made the iPod a hit and since
I've not really touched the iPhone interface yet we'll have to wait and see.
