You're quite right, it's certainly quite a large assumption to assume you can put your own applications on the iPhone. What a depressing day that'll be, finding that out, eh? ;-) That’s a fair point Carlo — I think, in this context, I’m more excited at the possibilities of what an open-platform device could offer, rather than the actual realities specifically related to the iPhone.

It's a little early to declare the iPhone an open-platform device without the "horrifying limitations" of other mobile platforms.
