I want to see the first guy who brings an unlocked iPhone into T-Mobile (only other major direct seller of GSM in the US) and says, hey I want to run my iPhone on your network. Better pray for the fly by night third party resellers to do it for you.
I also want to see how frequently iTunes updates the software on the iPhone, given that Cingular/AT&Ts testing and approval process takes forever. I'd recon one, maybe two updates a year if you're lucky.
*blatant swipe at Linux crowd* Why do you insist on putting Linux on devices that really don't need to run it just to say you did? Do you end up getting that six figure salary just because you made Linux run on a Tamagotchi? Why not port Linux to run on a Turing machine too? Seriously, if the amount of effort used to port Linux to TI-85s went into dumbing down Linux interfaces and admin tools for the masses, maybe it would have a larger market share and you could stop bitching about how much better it is. Having to explain to my mother what a "root" is and what the /etc/init.d folder is for is about as much fun as having to explain a BSOD to her.
And not to leave anyone out, Windows Mobile is totally CRAPTASTIC.
