iPhone To Get Third Party Apps

There has been recent speculation surfacing around the iPhone in regards to third party apps, and Steve Jobs made a very interesting comment regarding it.

“This is an important tradeoff between security and openness. We want both. … we’ll find a way to let 3rd parties write apps and still preserve security on the iPhone. But until we find that way we can’t compromise the security of the phone. … I’ve used 3rd party apps… the more you add, the more your phone crashes.”

So it looks as though that once third-party apps can be produced without compromising security, then we will see them surface. The iPhone is looking ever better, but I still gripe about the forced provider.
