Comments on: Week in review: Apple thinks differently about iPhone

Apple welcomes third-party iPhone developers, while Microsoft sets its sights on new territory. Also: The RIAA goes to school.

Achilles heel

Apple's strength is that it leads consumers to new innovations. It's
weakness is that it does a poor job of listening when customers
complain. In the first case the management might be described as
gutsy; and in the second as bullheaded. It should address the
second without compromising the first.

Get your facts straight - for once

If you actually payed attention, you would have noted Steve Jobs
NEVER said Appel was not going to welcome third party
developers to work on the iPhone. At the All Things Digital
Conference (C|Net too cheap to go? The buffet at the Four
Season is worth the money alone!) Steve Jobs made it clear with
a promise that in the long run "Everybody would get what they
want..."

That contradicts the claim made in the lede fo this article, and
the implication in the headline. In Journalism 101 at Mizzou, one
of the first things I learned was "You mother said she loves you?
Check it out!" Do some basic research before spreading half-
truths - for a change.

Thanks

I fixed the article to make it a little more clear.

Ho Hum

We've been able to use Visual Studio for years to develop for Windows phones. Glad to see Apple finally letting us develop for their platform too.

Biased and unprofessional

The hissy fit this 'reporter' has thrown regarding prosecutions for illegal file sharing disqualifies this article as journalism. No effort has been made to be objective whatsoever. Another C/Net embarrassment.
