http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page]]>Nov 9th 2007 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/Nov 9th 2007 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/Nov 9th 2007 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/

Sony has been down this road before, and I would have thought that Apple would have learned from that. The PSP was continuously hacked open after each update, and after a while this meant that updates were released purely to block 'security' holes rather than to add new features. It seems that Apple is going down that same road now.

As a PSP owner (granted it is mostly collecting dust) this annoyed the hell out of me... I never hacked it, because even though playing emulated games would be nice, I never bought it for that purpose. Rather, I would have appreciated some added features and functionality, maybe some PDA-like applications. Notice I say 'appreciated' not 'demanded'. I never got these features, because instead of looking for ways to improve the product, Sony was spending it's time trying to fix the hacks.

It's a dilemma, because they can't leave it open to arguably illegal emulators, and they probably don't have the resources to fix security exploits while developing new features at the same time. Fact of the matter is that they will probably never close the system down permanently, and the same goes for the iPhone/iPod touch. So why fight it at the cost of the customers that are legitimately using the device as you intended them to use it?

It's too late for the PSP, and I am glad that the iPhone SDK is coming out, but honestly... They should have known this was coming and released the SDK earlier. much earlier.

Besides that, I hate the fact that everyone demands whatever they want on the iPhone/iPod. You bought the device fully knowing what it's limitations are and are not, and if you didn't, then why did you spend $399 - $599 or whatever without doing some research? It is your own fault then I suppose. Don't demand new features, just appreciate it when they do add some. Same goes for the locked phone issue - You knew it was locked when you bought it. I myself would love an unlocked iPhone, living in Africa I don't expect to see a carrier announcing it here any time soon, but for now I'll live without one.

One of the things I love about Mac OS X is that most of the updates that are released add functionality and fix annoying bugs rather than just security holes. I surely hope the same can be said about the iPhone a year from now.

Or maybe I'm just stupid.]]>Nov 9th 2007 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/
Sorry just kidding but you left yourself open there! :)

Apple should've done two basic things from the start of this multitouch era:

1. Make the iPhone available unlocked - sure they wouldn't be getting the exclusive $18/month from AT&T/whoever but they'd have sold millions more phones and really established themselves vs giants like Nokia. Long-term rather than short-term money grabbing.

2. Not release the iPhone before they had worked out bugs in the functionality (Jobs said no "add event" was a bug in the IPT?! Please! And it's as hackable as Windows 3.1.1!!) and released an SDK - if that meant releasing the iPhone this Christmas rather than June gone it'd have been worth it for them AND US.]]>Nov 9th 2007 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/Nov 9th 2007 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/
I question their savvy though ... pretty soon people are going to make the leap: is Apple capable of providing security that sticks more that a couple of hours? It's really not looking good at the moment. ]]>Nov 9th 2007 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/However, they may be just updating the firmware to provide bug fixes, which un-does all the hacks to the previous 1.1.1 firmware because it just overwrites the previous firmware. There may have actually been very little in terms of firmware changes and so the previous firmware modifications work just as good now as they did on 1.1.1.]]>Nov 9th 2007 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/
"...a fanbase probably 3 if not 4 times the size of the development team which put it together..."

Well, they've sold a few million iphones, so that would make the dev team, what, 250-500K people? no wonder they are so expensive, heh.]]>Nov 9th 2007 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/Nov 9th 2007 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/
Honestly i doubt i will update until the SDK or even v2.0, when something actually half useful comes out!]]>Nov 9th 2007 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/apple-posts-ipod-touch-1-1-2-update/
