Yes, jfisher — Unfortunately it looks like you’re right. Hopefully the Safari browser will provide a fully featured Web application deployment environment (AJAX) — that would be one mitigating factor. The absence of Java is a shocker.

open? this thing is gonna be more locked down than any phone ever made. a closed system – surely not the route the industry should be going down.

We all want one :)

But you are correct, it does push all the (virtual) mobile 2.0 buttons. Still, do we need 3G do to this? Yes, web browsing etc will be slower but your content won’t be downloaded over the air, that will be synced from iTunes. The one thing it does have that surprised and pleased me is the location support built in.

And finally they have solved the multi tab support in a nice way
