Title: My first response: wow, this is an amazing device -- geo-location services are finally here! -- can't wait to pick one up.<p>But now I'm just depressed.<p>I'm depressed because people I know who have been working on great products are going to have an impossible time competing with Cupertino - every ajax desktop, data backup/sync, ???.<p>I'm depressed because apple apparently hates open-anything. Jobs smirks "oh hey we're going to let you push <i>icon</i> updates to the phone" -- WTF? Oh thank you great benevolent one. Then they proudly announce they had approved 4,000 developers. Nevermind the 21,000 we arbitrarily dicked over.<p>For developers it seems like the only upside is that someone is finally kicking mobile carriers in the teeth --  long since overdue.<p>In five years will we be missing Microsoft?  :-/
