What a bunch FUD. First off, Apple is not a monopoly in the market. RIM still has the majority stake in smart phones. Why would you want to run Firefox on the iPhone? I like Firefox, but it is resource hungry. Better to have something that Apple can streamline like Safari. Apple would probably like to open this up, but who knows what the conditions of the AT&T contract are for running apps on the network. Other networks do pretty much the same thing. I hate AT&T which I don't have an iPhone, but if they offered it to my provider, I would buy it in a second. There is also security to deal with, let's open this up to random people and have them kill the platform sounds like a stupid idea to me. Where are all of the great watershed MS Mobile and Symbian apps? And finally, if you really want the iPhone and want to do whatever you want with it, unlock it and jailbreak it. Hell, the software is on the net all over the place. I plan on doing just that after June when the final release of the SDK comes out to save myself some hardship from the jailbreak procedure.
