The iPhone vs. Pre crap is starting already, eh?

As an iPod Touch owner, I'd absolutely welcome some browser competition. While Safari renders beautifully, it crashes more than any other mobile browser I've worked with. The simplest things like ordering a book on Borders.com over Wi-Fi become frustrating to the point of torture when you're randomly dumped back out to the main menu repeatedly.

As for Apple's policies, I don't see them letting Mobile OSX ever become open regardless of how much it matures. 'Taint the Apple way.

Hehe... you said...

Anyway, you're right. Apple will never embrace change that they don't have 100% control over.

I, too, get the Safari crashes and I hate it. I thought mac products were known for their stability. To give them some credit, I think it has more to do with the application running out of memory then the actual process crashing. They barely have enough memory on this thing.
