Re:Locking down (Score 1)

Dude, where have YOU been living? Most cell phone makers are smart enough to realize that the more freedom they give their customers with their phones, the more likely it is that those phones will sell, and sell well. _All_ smartphones allow third party apps in languages other than java and wow, whatdoyouknow, you can buy them unlocked as well. Oh yah, they're not shackled to a specific OS or program either. Have you even seen a symbian phone, let alone used one? There are tons of non java third party apps available for symbian, blackberry, palm phones, etc and you don't need ajax to run them. Do a little bit of research before posting, otherwise you end up making a fool of yourself. I bet you also believe the iphone is the first phone to have 8GB of memory, eh? And that its browser is the first full featured browser on a mobile phone? Sounds like you've drank so much of the koolaid you couldn't recognize the truth if it came up and bit you in the face. PS: Most Apple stores did NOT sell out of iphones.
