I'm a pragmatist too, but currently getting data on and off the
iPhone using Linux is far harder than is should be. Writing
software for the iPhone is far harder than it should be and
is bound by all sorts of complications that shouldn't be there.

Since Apple is able to disable applications the user puts on the
phone the purchaser does not own the phone, Apple does.

So for now I'm stuck with an ancient Nokia. I'll keep it until
I can get a phone than does half of what I want. The iPhone
does about a quarter of what I want.
