Looks like even Steve Jobs has to take ques from industry leaders now and then. Like he is doing now citing Nokia and Palm? (Apple loosens grip on iPhone software)
Smart of him to open up iPhone to third-party developers, but perhaps they should have done it in the first place. Now its going to take them till February to come out with an SDK! but I suppose at least this delay is justifiable to make their phones more safe from viruses:
"... While this makes such a phone less than 'totally open,' we believe it is a step in the right direction," Jobs wrote of Nokia's stance. " - CNN, 17 October 2007.

I don't care about iPhone and other iXXXX products, I'm not even an iPod owner, so mister SJ can do whatever he wants, I'm fine with it. but it was stupid of me to sell Apple stocks at 110$ and now they are traiding at 170$.
Thats more like Apple taking notes from $$$, not that its a bad thing, i personally feel its a really good decision by apple, its going to push iPod quite a bit, now why not open it for other carriers too, having just one carrier (ATT) wont cut it. If they do it then i'd claim they took notes from me :)
