Jobs證實iPhone不能安裝第三方軟體! ??

不確定真實性有多少, 從Slashdot截取下來


From Slashdot

"In an interview with the New York Times, Steve Jobs confirms reports that the recently-announced iPhone will not allow third party applications to be installed. According to Jobs, 'These are devices that need to work, and you can't do that if you load any software on them.' In a similar vein, Jobs said in a MSNBC article that, 'Cingular doesn't want to see their West Coast network go down because some application messed up.'"

那不就是說 除了內建的軟體可以用之外 其他的都無法安裝 甚至連開發的機會都甚小? 這也間接證明Job所說的iPod, Phone,and Internet Communicator, 就是不說是PDA吧. 我想從開發者的角度去想的話, iPhone應該是會很穩定的 因為內建的google & yahoo ..等軟體 都是特別再最佳化過的. 穩定性可想而之. 我想開發第三方軟體給iPhone的可能性很大 但是困難度除了API之外 最大的因素應該是Apple不想在iPhone裝太多軟體 因為軟體一多 容易造成當機 等因素..

個人覺的其實如果從技術層面來看iPhone的話 有些地方的確值得討論的, 像是YAhoo Mail IMAP,iPhone上 Mac OS的擴充性 即 開發性...等
