No 3rd Party Application support on iPhone?

Now this is strange.

Apple releases this brand new product, which they proudly present as a smartphone, but not just a smartphone, one hell of a smartphone. They pack it with awesome features, put a lot of money and effort into it (apparently two and a half years) and guess what - the shoot themselves in the leg by not letting the iPhone run 3rd party applications.

It could have been a great PDA, but guess what, they ruined it. Come on, Apple, you can do better than that! Third-party applications are what keeps a platform alive. Seriously. Didn’t Steve Jobs thank third party developers for their great job on migrating to universal binaries? Ridiculous.

Is Apple trying to make their own products fail on purpose? I don’t get it!
There’s no way I’m buying an iPhone (or whatever they’re gonna call it after losing the lawsuit) if it can’t run 3rd-party applications.
