"...is it any wonder Cupertino's working so hard to lock this stuff down?"

Of course it's a huge wonder. I'm not gonna hack my damn phone, nor am I paying full retail price for a locked phone. Ever. No matter how good it looks, or what it does. It's pure stupidity. Apple would have made a lot more money just honestly selling phones that it will trying to be one of the shady characters for which the US cell market is famous. Personally I'm waiting for 3G, mainly because Australian 2G carriers charge $1/minute at the cheapest for GPRS data. Telstra, our biggest carrier charges 2c/kb for GPRS. Yes, you read that right, $20 a meg. But on 3 I'm paying $29 for a GB a month, not taking into account the fact it's much faster.
