Apple never had a position one way or the other regarding 3rd party native apps (Jobs's famous "cat and mouse" statement  was made with reference to a question about 3rd party unlocking apps -- not all 3rd party apps). Apple never once came out and said that they did not want 3rd party native apps. Of course, they also never made a statement (until today) that they would support them, either. <br><br>Just because the 1.1.1 iPhone update broke hacked 3rd party native apps does not mean that Apple was hostile to the idea of 3rd party, native apps. I think they have just been waiting all along for Leopard to be released.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kingbee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 6:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jobs praises Nokia's 3rd party app scheme, but he has it wrong]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/17/jobs-praises-nokias-3rd-party-app-scheme-but-he-has-it-wrong/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/17/jobs-praises-nokias-3rd-party-app-scheme-but-he-has-it-wrong/</guid><description><![CDATA[>>and we have it on good authority that you can disable certificate verification for installed apps<br><br>Go on, then, how? You'll make a hoard of Symbian OS developers very happy if it is possible. You can certainly switch off blocking of developer certificates on the device, but you can't switch off certificate checks completely... (There is a 'self signed' concept, but you are pretty restricted in the APIs you can use).<br><br>If you can demonstrate an application installed which uses manufacturer-granted capabilities (i.e. restricted APIs) without a developer certificate or signed by a manufacturer I will eat my hat. Twice. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KevinD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 18th 2007 5:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jobs praises Nokia's 3rd party app scheme, but he has it wrong]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/17/jobs-praises-nokias-3rd-party-app-scheme-but-he-has-it-wrong/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/17/jobs-praises-nokias-3rd-party-app-scheme-but-he-has-it-wrong/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here we go again, with the Engadget Nokia-haters!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Magnus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2007 11:20AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
