Are you an Apple fanboy?

| you have reservations about the keyboard. but you havent seen the keyboard.
great comment. perhaps you should inform yourself. the sms facility and keyboard use is shown in the keynote. on the apple site or also linked to earlier in this thread. | |

I didn't notice it during the keynote. I'll go and check. I'd thank you for the pointer but as your tone is a little rude I won't.

Have you tried one of the keyboards? I'd rather use one myself before making a judgement. Thus, I have reservations.

| i also dont understand why no 3rd party dev is a "concern"? apple might allow third party approved widgets and stuff like that, as they do with mac os x, but why should they go further than that anyway? | |

To me the iPhone is more a computer than a smart phone. After all, it's got OS X (MACH3 and a FreeBSD personality) and Core Animation, rather than, say, Symbian with Flash.
My understanding is Apple say they're not allowing for
any 3rd party development. No 3rd party stuff makes it a closed platform. On my iMAC I have replaced some of the Apple-supplied things with things that suit my tastes more. So I would be stuck with whatever Apple decide to install.
I'm not used to closed utility platforms (except for games consoles). So for me that closedness is a concern.
