Apple's cheapest computer Yeah, but they're clever with that too. Arguably their cheapest computer is the iPhone (depending where you are naturally).

- jimbokun 18y ago"Arguably their cheapest computer is the iPhone" Depending on how you account for the 2 year service agreement, maybe not.

- chollida1 18y agoI see your point but I'd argue you can't call the iPhone a computer until you can write native apps for it and install them without a license from apple. I'm using computer in the sense of a PC/Mac like device where the user is free to write and deploy what ever apps they want on it. I'll grant you that the iPhone is computer like from the point of view of a locked down machine.
- jwilliams 18y agoYeah, but it's the (admittedly extreme) end of the netbook spectrum - people that want to do light surfing and check their email on the couch. Probably why the tablet rumours makes some kind sense to me. It's a good niche and slots into their range, and they're not competing with the cheap-as-possible netbook market.

- ninguem2 18y agoIf you are capable of writing a native app for the iPhone, you are probably capable of jailbreaking it too.

- cameldrv 18y agoI'd need to double check the license agreement about whether compiling others distributed code for your personal use is kosher. However, if you pay the $100, you get the all-important signing key to put any app on you and your 99 best friends' Iphones.
