Um no. Sorry try again. The iPhone is a closed platform. Sucks for you if you don't like it. The free market will ruin Apple if this didn't work but it does. That's how the real world is. It isn't Apple coddling you every step of the way giving you everything your special little self needs to develop an application.
You are all so fucking entitled it's not even funny. I don't care if you dislike Apple's business model, but the sense of entitlement in these posts is what pushes me over the edge. It's as if everyone needs to drop everything for some developers on Slashdot who don't like the SDK for the iPhone and want Apple to tailor it for their usage, with the expectation that Apple cares about them enough for this to be a possibility.
It is so incredibly acceptable and a non-issue that you need to use the iPhone SDK and Obj-C to program on the iPhone.
I've replied to you elsewhere Yamata, but I am not a fanboy. I just love seeing the majority of Slashdot collapse on itself when their stupid, overvoiced and misinformed opinions are shattered with fact. Every day I come to this site to find another article where people bitch and moan about Flash not being on this Apple product and Python not being the language of choice on that Apple product. Do you have any idea how fucking annoying that is? The two threads today... the iPad selling a million and netbook sales down and the callout on the entitlement people feel over how to develop for their iPhone both hit that group really hard and I am relishing in it instead of working on my finals.
That's not true. Who defines it as crap? You? Well than you aren't a customer. If their demographic and customer base thought it was crap, that would mean something. When you say it's crap it's nothing more than a cheap insult.

What it boils down to is this. The free market Slashdotter's love so much? It is defining the Apple turf. The App Store is fine and it doesn't need you to write applications for it. In a free market, if there really were so many issues with Apple's lockdown, Apple would be forced to open up a bit. But they aren't. Because people still work with them. And that is how the free market works. Making Apple open up isn't a free market, it's the opposite. But of course on Slashdot, "free market" is misunderstood term used whenever the poster wants to somehow rationalize why everything should go his way.
I don't have pride in the iPad I don't even own one. Maybe I will someday but frankly it's out of my price range. I'm just sick of reading Slashdot only to come across people bitching and moaning about what is popular (because popular things can never succeed right? thats how Slashdotters made themselves feel better in high school).
This is just fun because now I get to watch it all fall down on the Apple haters who are even more fucking dumb than the Apple fanboys.
Insightful? Really? A bad product doesn't sell a million in a month. A product that is doomed to fail from launch doesn't sell a million in a month. Get the fuck over it you were all wrong, once again, about an Apple product.
I don't actually care what it is I just think it's funny that once again Slashdot has proven how inept they are at speculation due to their heavy biases and nerdrage clouding their view of reality.
Seriously, let's say the iPad was stock and you could have gotten that stock. Slashdot would have said "fuck that shit" and as the stock's value proceeded to rise, the Slashdotters would still act like they made the right choice by saying "well it _shouldn't_ be doing that well so it doesn't count".
Um Slashdot has the holier than thou attitude. They think it is their God given right to do whatever they want. They believe in open source software which extends to the idea that they should have control of the iPhone platform and that downloading pirated content isn't stealing.
Dude RTFA seriously. I mean WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR POINT? If people do not like developing under these rules then they don't have to and won't. But most people don't mind which is why there are tons of iPhone apps. You may not like it but the fact is no one cares. Don't develop for Apple. No one will miss you. No one needs you. And you are certainly not entitled to everything. This goes for everyone. Get the fuck over it. I bet half the people who bitch on Slashdot aren't even devs but children trying to be edgy (the majority of Flash "developers"). It's this stupid "me me me" crap that pervades everything here and let me tell you, it's worse than the made up demons of Apple and Facebook people feel entitled to hate as well.

Of course this article is tagged troll; the three people or so on Slashdot who try and explain this every Apple discussion know what's it's like to make sense in a sea of selfishness and entitlement.
You just said it's not Jobs' way to give the consumer choices after stating that the iPad gave consumers choices...Slashdot can be do pathetic sometimes...you guys are really reaching here for something to hate Apple for.
The problem is no one successfully implements this. What you are saying basically is that Apple sucks and if everyone else could pull devices like this off, the way that Apple does, they would be much better.
The iPad hit 1,000,000. Confront it, or shut up. You can't explain away sales. Also making your post title "Sigh" makes me feel like I'm responding to some 9th grade emo Otaku who uses *sigh* in pretty much everything they say online.
What technical knowledge do they lack? They don't need any. That's why they like Apple. That's why they like the iPad. Do you think you can gallop into the Apple store on a brilliant white steed and declaritively compare spec sheets and the consumer will be blinded by your glory and understand the error of their ways?
"it's worthless, mother, tell them it's worthless!" sulked Slashdot user Zironic. "There, there honey," his mother purred. "It's going to be alright. The iPad is worthless." In her heart, however, she knew that she was lying to him. As Zironic drifted off into sleep, she shed a tear of sadness for her sulking manchild. She knew that one day he would have to face the truth: he had no idea what he was talking about and everyone hated him.
So what you are saying is that the ipad is worthless in your opinion, which is more relevant than the fact the ipad is doing very well. Slashdot hated the ipad but all of their misguided and out of touch opinions couldn't change the fact that the ipad is a good product from the standpoint of the manufacturer and the consumers who purchase it.

Wow...with the exception of Bing and DailyKos you just named some of the original web businesses whose names truly stuck and were actually great.
Haha oh my fucking testicles you're going to start talking about apsergers now too arent you

Hahaha I was modded troll here. And my parent post. Thanks Apple haters :) You sure are proving you are capable of cohesive arguments!
No you don't. My old flip didn't have Flash either. It wasn't my right to have Flash. I knew there was no Flash when I bought the iPhone.

That's not even a good argument, but were it true, it would because Apple actually pulled it off better than any competition.
Cool story, bro. Any more anecdotal evidence you want to throw my way in a sulking and pathetic attempt to dismiss the ipads success?

Ah, the "I was wrong but I'm actually still right" tactic. An interesting gambit.
