In
an interview with the New York Times on Thursday, the head of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) confirmed that the use of third-party software will be limited on the “revolutionary” iPhone shown the other day.
“I don't want people to think that this is a computer,” said Jobs. “I think of it as reinventing the phone.”
Unlike its competitors (Sony Ericsson, Palm, Nokia, Motorola, Microsoft and others), Apple, although it is moving towards the integration of many functions in one device, wants to better control the quality of its device, the reliability and stability of its work.

“The last thing you want to do is to run three applications on your phone, and then get ready to call and find that it no longer works.” Therefore, Jobs says, “they [
iPhone ] are more like an iPod than a PC.”
“This does not mean that there will be no programs released by us that you can install on them. This does not mean that we are going to write all the software ourselves, but it means that there will be a more manageable environment. ”
