Well, it has taken me some time, but I am finally writing about the previously mentioned iPhone 2.0 update per el Steve. From my (admittedly different) perspective, the greatest change is that Apple will be allowing two major things happen:

  1. Native software on the iPhone.
  2. Apple will eventually allow the iPhone to work on other than AT&T networks.

To me, the new software will eventually force Apple to allow even more development on this platform. I know Apple is publicly unhappy and only allowing it with a stern face about security. But, I think they are privately very happy.
