cmon, think of the real repercussion of that!

other companies will probably steer off registration systems or think of a better implementation (that's hopefully less annoying) rather than pay the apple tax...

Yeah I think Apple's iPhoneOS is the first totally locked-down software ecosystem, unless you count gaming consoles...

You're talking about my long lost brother now... he's had his priorities skewed.

what an awesome thread! I also want an iphone emu, dosbox on the n900 doesn't run mechwarrior 2, there's no ps3 emulation and as the OP says there just arent enough apps on the n900! Whats the point of having a phone if you can't pretend to drink a pint of beer with it?!?!?!

ScummVM, picodrive, snes & nes emu's, quake 3, They're are all pointless if i can't use itunes to sync my music!

Honestly, why don't all phones use itunes? It's just not right this "plug in and copy music to device" business! People should be forced to spend at least 2 hours trying to sync there music only to find itunes has deleted all there songs and crashed bot at the same time, thats how technology should work!!!!

Nah, Danger was doing this with the old Sidekicks long before Apple came on to the scene. Apple just made it popular (as they are now known for).
