[ILUG-Cochin.org] The 5 real reasons to avoid iPhone 3G

[Raj]

1. iPhone completely blocks free software. Developers must    pay a tax to
Apple, who becomes the sole authority over what can and can't be on
everyone's phones.

2.  iPhone endorses and supports Digital Restrictions    Management (DRM)
technology.

3.  iPhone exposes your whereabouts and provides ways for   others to  track
you without your knowledge.

4.  iPhone won't play patent- and DRM-free formats like Ogg Vorbis and
Theora.

 5. iPhone is not the only option. There are better alternatives on the
horizon that respect your freedom, don't spy on you, play free media
formats, and let you use free software -- like the
 FreeRunner (http://www.openmoko.com).
