Apple The internet is abuzz with the news that Apple intends to break iPhones containing third party applications. Unlocked phones are also likely to be victims of the next software update. While community reaction is generally negative, one blogger suggests sending an even stronger message to Apple by boycotting Apple on October 1. If you're running the Installer application, you may want to hold off on any iPhone firmware updates.

Not to mention a joke anyway. The UK release will be a flop. No 3G, no MMS, can't record video (Er, didn't Apple realise that YouTube is powered by uploads??), draconian cell/data charges, can't run iPod games you've already purchased, and can't install any third party apps at all. Plus, you can't unlock it to any SIM easily, or without threat of bricking, despite it being law in the UK to allow unlocking.

I hope Apple get sued over the UK iPhone / iPod touch anti-consumer measures.
