Closed platform
There's no way that I'm going to buy that expensive a portable device unless it's an open platform. Even if Apple decides to sell third-party apps for the iPhone, the fact that they insist on controlling distribution probably indicates that we won't see VoIP, instant messaging, or other applications that might interfere with Cingular's income. And programming the iPhone for my own purposes would probably be more trouble than it's worth. (Let alone the fact that Cingular is horrible in the Gainesville area. Of course they have the least dropped calls: One can never place a call in the first place.) I hate to have to admit this here, but whatever model I end up choosing as my next cell phone, it will almost certainly run on Windows Mobile.
Closed platform
