Well folks, as we all know, Apple has a very strict software policy for the iPhone. Literally, the brand has a tight-fisted control over the iPhone and seems that it has stationed about 10,000 guards around the software application in the iPhone. Some of us are quite happy with this Apple policy, while some surely aren’t. We users can’t download any other files than the Apple files and our cellphone software doesn’t permit any other application programs. Very recently, Apple rejected a tie up with Sum Microsystems for Java support in the iPhone.

For ignorants, Java is an application development program that is compatible in any software set-up. It has the ’write once, run anywhere’ applications which can be run in run-time on any other program. In the recent years, Sun Microsystems has extended its Java support to several cellphone brands. Even the very weak cellphones have a Java support. Apple’s decision of rejecting the Sun services offer has agitated its many fans and users.

Many authorities call Apple’s rejection of Java a ‘mistake’. It’s true. Apple should change some of its harder-than-brick policies. Or it stands a chance of suffering unpopularity among the other brands.

The release of the Iphone firmware 1.1.1 update has given rise to another Iphone application…..an ITunes wi-fi store. Downloading tracks has become an easy extremely affair, courtesy this wi-fi store. Through this feature, one can surf the available playlists, or search for the ‘top tens’, favorite artists, favorite tracks, most popular tracks and other such categories. One can hear a 30-second preview of the chosen track after which a ‘buy now’ icon flashes on the screen. Most of us immediately give in to the offer wherein a single track is charged for a ‘paltry’ sum of 0.99$.

The issue is that if this new store is leading to an addiction for easy and quick purchase of music downloads. 0.99$ may seem quite frivolous an amount to most of us Iphone users. But doesn’t this money stack up to mammoth amounts ultimately? What may seem a small amount for a download finally converts to a big amount if the downloads addiction isn’t curbed well. Besides the ease experienced in quick downloads transcends us to steps like wish, need, habit and addiction.

It’s high time we think over the issue. A friendly application can transform us into download devils. So now you’ve got to decide your fate.
