Possibly they will move to a games console like licensing model where the developer/publisher has to pay Apple for the right to sell the software for the iPhone. This would keeping a high level of quality control on the situation and they would make money from other peoples software. Would be a good idea if it meant for a reduction in the price of the hardware.

They tried that with the Newton. (Star something or other) It bombed for developers and Apple to just give a few developers their tier one licensing. Users will sort out what works and what doesn't just like they do for all the other platforms out there.

If the iPhone is running OS X lite, then they need to let us develop software for it.

I already have customers asking me when my software is going to be ready for the iPhone. More than any of my customers, I want to port my software to the iPhone so I can ditch my ipod, cellphone, and camera, and Palm.
