The reason I mentioned this post was because of the Software Development Kit...in effect opening up the software, albeit in a controlled manner. Each of the new additions would have to be approved by Apple and they would monetise this via iTunes store. Some of it would be free and some of it would shareware or something; depending on the impact value of the widget...if you allow me to call the add ons as that. GPS is a very cool innovation and I don't deny that. I think one could easily map something of that sort in the hardware in the coming times. The present iPhone is too stunted in terms of hardware. A BIG minus is the 2 G compatibility. I would wish for a 3 G handset and I clearly mention that. I am a Linux fanboy...Neither Apple and definitely not MS. The whole sole reason I wrote about it was because of the potential of technology and that this is a cool innovation. I'd concur with the marketing hype. Look at Virgin Mobile...
