Software developer Dylan Schiemann used Steve Jobs’ own words against him in a presentation on developing third-party software applications for Apple’s iPhone.
“You can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone,” CEO Jobs said at an Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June in San Francisco.
“It depends on your meaning of the word ‘exactly,’” Schiemann said Monday at the AjaxWorld 2007 Conference & Expo in nearby Santa Clara.
Jobs says Apple will allow third-party software developers to write applications to run on an iPhone, but not be installed on it. Instead, the apps can only be delivered through the device’s Safari Web browser. While an endorsement of Ajax from Steve Jobs is welcome, Schiemann and others at the Ajax conference say there are limitations on how their apps can run on Safari, and there is a vibrant community of developers writing apps to install directly on iPhone, contrary to Apple’s wishes.

iPhoneSIMFree has finally gone retail – MY iTablet:
Four sites have already gone live retailing the iPhone unlocking. Here in the US we have Wireless Imports, then in Australia there is iPhoneWorldwideUnlock which presumably works worldwide, and they are the cheapest too, then there is 1digitalphone from Germany, and iPhone4arab in Saudi Arabia.The US retailer is charging $99 with the Australian one charging a mere $50. Other than price, the difference will likely come as soon as AT&T’s legal team gets wind of this new update, and then the US retailer will probably be taken to court.
