Sorry Apple, Wrong Answer

I love my iPod. I love my Powerbook. Fake Steve Jobs is not too shabby. Along with the rest of the universe, I was preparing to love the iPhone, until today when the real Steve Jobs announced the way third party developers would be allowed to add applications: the Web. That’s right, the iPhone will come complete with Safari, and developers will be able to harness the power of Web 2.0 to create software with all of the same bells and whistles as native iPhone applications.
According to Apple, this allows third party applications to "extend the iPhone’s capabilities without compromising its security or reliability." Uh … that’s scary. It’s already hard to get Web security right, and giving the Web browser access to your contacts, your photos, and your music just ups the penalty for getting it wrong. If the Web is the platform of the future, then cross-site scripting is the next buffer overflow. This is bad news.
I’m going to stop writing iPhone and start writing iP0wn.
