    ya, your right on this. I guess that job's said to nytimes that the phone will be closed ended but will be creating its own software as the time goes by and as soon as whatever he is creating is finished and ready to be downloaded to the from probably from itunes. This isnt going to be like the ipod like everyone thinks, where you can download the cheapo games to your phone, no it will be real, with real software that is useful and some may be on widgets special for the phone. I think that a lot of software we see for the smartphone that is useful will be on the iphone, such as jobs said they are very much considering skype or another voip company, they just need to fix the deal with cingular, which they will apple has them by the nuts. Im sure something along the lines of iwork and ilife will be included, iphoto is in there and im sure DOC and EXCEL readers will be on there as well along with PDF readers, Jobs said the software is not done at all and will have many many more features down the line by release date

    thanks for the info k munic.



    as for 3G yea they don't need it in the US but in europe and many other places 3G is common place almost standard. so it would be frowned upon if it didnt have it when they release it outside of the US.



    we will see though.
