| 596441 | 2007-10-01 01:27:00 | This is going to kill Apple iPhone sales. People would of bought them knowing they could hack them to be used on other Networks. Now that this patch is out bricking them then those people are going to look at buying alternatives. Apple Marketing FTL! |

| 596442 | 2007-10-01 01:47:00 | It is although you could call it an OS update since the iPhone runs a cut down version of OS X and as was previously mentioned on this thread, the MS smartphone updates are in the region of 200MB. No doubt the 3rd party hackers will be working to "rectify" everything ;) Supposedly a hack as already been released. This type of thing is going to hurt apple, butt hey have to do it due to their arrangement with at&t, and they have to be 'seen' as trying to protect at&t. The iphone is still a bit primative for me. I mean it has wifi and other wireless connection systems, but to transfer your music between your PC and iphone/itouch, you still need to use a wire. The charging system should also be wireless, as wireless charing systems have existed for years. I will wait for the second or third generation, that isn't tied to a network. |

Will let you know after Christmas when Apple reports how many million iPhones have been sold. ;) The iphone is still a bit "primative" for me.

Hopefully by then it will have arrived in NZ and be fully supported and less "primitive" ;) Wireless charing systems may have existed for years but how easy to use and dependable are the for the average tech illiterate person? |

It can be easy if they include a dock. It would work similar to brauns electric toothbrush system. The current iphone doesn't even have 3G so it is a little primative. The future models could be made so they are totally sealed units without any inputs or output sockets. Headphones could be done with bluetooth. |
