Before now developers have been free to use many different tools to create applications for the iPhone and iPad. Imminent changes to the way the iPhone software development kit is used will restrict these tools to just three. "<SNIP> Lovely. I wonder what the fan boys will say when Jobs decides to finally hit the Macbook/desktop lines with the kinds of restrictions found on the iPhone/Pod/Pad.

THAT doesn't duplicate features that come with iphone? f'in weird.
