Steve Wozniak speaks out for iPhone "rebels"
In an interview with Laptop Magazine, Steve Wozniak has taken another dig at Apple, and spoken out in support of those who have been unlocking and hacking the iPhone.
When asked what he would change about the iPhone, he said, "I think it could be more like a computer. It should be open like a computer. Anyone should be able to develop their own games and programs on it. And keep the phone and the phone services off guard so it's protected."
He went on to say that, while Apple had the right to do what they wanted from a business point of view, he's on the side of the unlockers.
"I'd really like it to be open to new applications. I'd like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I've made? How would that hurt AT&T's network? Here is Steve Jobs sending letters to the record companies saying [they] should provide music that's unprotected, but here he is taking the opposite approach with the iPhone. I don't know to what extent AT&T is involved in the thinking and direction."
As an aside, Woz currently doesn't use the iPhone for voice calls. " I like my RAZR because it has better voice quality than the iPhone; it's a bit louder."
