One developer has written an open letter to Apple asking them not to punish legitimate iPhone developers:
“The word today from the blogosphere is that iPhone firmware update 1.1.1 not only re-locks iPhones unlocked from the AT&T network, but also prevents access to any third-party apps installed on the iPhone, such as installer.app and other community apps installed by installer.app.
For those of us trying to develop legitimate businesses and services for the iPhone and iPod Touch, this action by Apple turns us into casualties of war.”
Now, one could argue that since Apple never allowed “legitimate” iPhone apps in the first place this is kind of a non starter argument, but clearly there is consumer demand, so the question is, will Apple stick to their guns and stubbornly refuse to open up the iPhone and to hell with what the customer wants or will they eventually give in?
