waiting on the iPhone

[Kevin]

I'm waiting to see what Google does with Android. I know there's a T-Mobile phone with it right now, but I really like the idea of an open-source phone OS.

I'm a fairly strong advocate of open-source everything. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Apple's DRM makes it impossible to copy everything I buy to my next iPhone, or to back it up in case of theft or failure? I can't see myself being very interested in a product which I'll invariably load up with applications, only to dump those applications when I replace the phone in 2-3 years.

Yes...DRM is a major killer....however if you have an ipod and need backup....drop me a line and I can point you in the right directions
