excited about the new iPhone, but can't help but wish people channeled their enthusiasm towards more pertinent issues every once in a while.

I hate when people get excited and spend massive amounts of energy trying to open a closed platform

While I'm amazed at whurley and his iphonedevcamp, I can't help but feel sad knowing that all the iphone hacking energy could have been

best spent on an OSS project
Because we -opened- the platform

thinks
this is a very interesting point you have raised. you have to admit though, apple knows what it is doing, esp when it comes to UI
And the hardware is highly available.
An open platform is no good, if it's not in general usage.
The jailbroken iPhone dev environment is, after all, as open as you like

Okay, iPhone dev team -and- Zibri both have announced that they have cracked the prerelease 2.0 firmware
jailbreak confirmed, but without the new hardware no confirmation of GSM unlock

will apple ever move away from the one carrier agreement for iphones or am I behind on this news too?
michellegreer
says

AT&T invested buku bucks on the 3G network. You'd have to pry the Apple agreement out of their cold, dead-phone-line hands.

martinbogo is a platform truly open. I should have to jailbreak it, and I shouldn't have to pay expensive fees to distribute my app
dcousineau
says
open dev kit is a step forward but requiring app signing is still archaic
