Same here, I was looking at the apps this afternoon for my future iPhone... haa well! As long as I can use an iPhone with rogers wireless i'll be happy, who needs apps for the iPhone if it can't be used as an actual phone! Can't wait to get my hands on one (soon I hope :D)

This smells of AT&T. I'm guessing they pressured Apple into breaking 3rd party apps because of the unlocking frenzy. This way, no new iphones that ship will be unlockable. Booo Possessive Wireless Providers! Hooray Beer!

@ryantrevisol
That will only pertain to what is out right now to accomplish this_ That does not mean that the folks working to provide unlocks to the masses will totally stop because Apple or AT&T or who ever decides to change the locks_

@ ryantrevisol : "This smells of AT&T."
Oh please. The only thing AT&T is concerned about is the SIM unlock hack. They want the iPhone usable only on their network in the USA per the business contract with Apple. They are giving Apple a cut of the monthly Voice and Data service fees for this exclusivity. There is no evidence to suggest AT&T receives any cut of iTunes sales from iPhone users.
As it stands, Apple rakes in ALL revenues from any iTunes purchase (music, video, ringtones, official web applications, etc). Apple is the one with a vested interest in breaking homebrew applications and preventing users from installing their own ringtones.
Apple wants EVERYTHING installed via iTunes in order to make money off their iPhone customers. I cannot understand why some of you die-hards cannot accept the fact that Apple as a publicly traded corporate entity answerable to their shareholders would not try to get as much money as possible from their customers this way.
