iPhone will betray you

The Free Software Foundation and its supporters describe the iPhone as <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2152552,00.asp?kc=EWKNLEND062907STR2">a product crippled with proprietary software and digital restrictions.</A>

The iPhone is Apple's proprietary new combination music player, phone, email and Web surfing device, which starts at around $500 for the hardware alone. Eager consumers are already standing in line outside stores to be among the first to get one.

This is not the first time that the FSF and its supporters have targeted Apple. Last October, members of DefectiveByDesign.org, a campaign by the FSF, descended on flagship Apple stores in New York and London to protest the company's embrace of DRM technology.
