Write your own software if you want to...

In the end, Its an extremely difficult task to have such a small computer with the amount of capabilities this thing does have, and to make it as configurable as it is.

If you bought a netbook, they would only give you the hardware pre-installed with windows, and you would have to get everything else installed and working yourself, including email, internet, wifi etc etc...

Most phones come as a "polished" product as the only things you can configure on them is your background, ringtone and email address... This phone you can change your entire email program, your whole internet browser, your entire desktop etc etc.

And i also hate anything made by apple, as they are so closed minded towards other manufacturers... I took a photo on my girlfriends iphone the other day, and i still can't get the damn thing off her phone without paying someone (either the phone company for an mms or apple for some software). It refuses to connect to her email account, doesn't care about infra red, won't send it by bluetooth, and for some reason won't even transfer it by wifi. Lets not go anywhere near the iPod which forces you to use iTunes...

Good riddance to apple and their half baked products
