,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's iPhone 2.0.1 firmware also breaks iPhone open source development. My 
| iPod Touch, which never made any trouble for AT&T or Apple, and never cost 
| any App Store vendor a dime in lost sales, won't run Unix apps any more. I'm 
| back to hauling a notebook around when just my iPod Touch would do.
