exactly, iPhone could be a very good device, without stupid mining of money, which smells like Bill Gates.
Jobs should think about situation, if iPhone with apps like Skype wouldnt have much wider use, than now stupidly delimited device, because this is that one reason, why not to buy it.

I thought that apple says that is five years ahead in technology..
So, why uphold archaic slow and expensive-to-use cellular networks?

(sorry for my english:)

I agree Voice over IP would be a major block to Apple "selling" to iPhone to mobile operators.

I think the reason behind this is clearly Skype. Apple and Cingular do not want Skype to run on their phones. Thats also why most of the PDA phones available through Cingular do not have wifi, which should be standard.

@Mitch

Flash support on iPhone has not been confirmed, and I'm doubtful it will happen. My reasoning is two-fold: First, Steve Jobs would have made a big deal about it today, surely? Second, YouTube is already converting its catalogue to Apple's favored h.264 codec ready for AppleTV. Which would also suit the iPhone.

Has it been announced whether iPhone will support Flash content? If so, development of Flash based apps via Flex will work.
