Dan Moren has a very good post up at Macworld on the (hopefully only temporary) demise of 3rd party apps. Quick excerpt:
Look, we love Apple; that’s not going to change. The company is innovative, it’s cool, and it makes great products. But what makes those products great is what you can do with them. And today I can do less with my iPhone than I could yesterday.
"Until then, I guess I’ll just have to console myself with the fact that I can now hit the spacebar twice to type a space and a period. That would be super useful in Instant Messag—oh. Never mind."
it was funny because this is exactly how i feel about the iPhone at this point in time..
