Wow, all this furore about a gadget that isn't even 100 days old yet, not to mention the hundreds of web or OSX apps already coded for it!! What scares me, and probably petrifies Nokia and Co, is that the phone has bags of RAM, Gigabytes of storage, and APPLE HASN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING (YET) TO ADDRESS THAT SPACE... A work in progress, Steve Jobs says. Watch that HUGE space, be patient, and very excited...
When all is said and done, it wouldn't surprise me to find that some of the "unauthorised" apps coded in the wild by these enterprising hackers that meet Apple's criteria of cool, elegant fun and simplicity will find their way into the "walled garden" by invitation to become part of the incredible customer experience emerging around this wild gadget. @Argot: the Future is a bright, rosy apple :-)
by 'invitiation' I assume you mean in the same way apple invites work done by the linux community programmers. by taking their code without permission and then giving nothing back.
if apple does include those 'hacked' apps, they sure won't pay for it. "no no, you should just feel honored we even noticed you were alive".
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.
