Right now THE phone to have is the iphone, apple’s brilliant device that’s as restrictive as it is innovative. Recently Apple put out an update that bricked/disables iphones that have been hacked or modified to allow a carrier other than AT&T to work on the phone. There were other hacks that allowed the iphone to have 3rd party apps installed on the phone. Both of these purposes are not approved by Apple, so when it put out update 1.1.1., that update turned their iphones into paperweights.
Now the Gphone premise is a bit more attractive. Imagine a cellphone packed with google-goodness, from a company that believes the cellphone spectrum should be available to its users for FREE, open to allow all kinds of 3rd party apps and to take full advantage of the growing mobile internet.
Which phone would you want?
