[Fwd: Re: [s3sales] iPhone port of Password Wallet?]

No iPhone in my future (see below). Rats! I would encourage anyone who
has a real need to run a local app on the iPhone to
contact/email/call/pressure Apple to serve up a /real/ /developer/
/environment/ on this device. Job's excuse of not wanting to compromise
stability by running third party apps is a load of BS. The thing runs
Unix for god sake. An API could be developed to protect the device from
application crashes, as it's basically built in. Furthermore, Apple
could test apps, and give the stamp of approval to vendors, if that
makes them feel better.

Grumblingly yours, Jon

The only way for me to get your passwords on to an iPhone is to serve
them over a web page.

Would you be ok with this? (I know I wouldn't.)

Apple's developer solution for that is very poor for apps like PasswordWallet.
