The star of application-rich mobile phones, Apple's iPhone, has been met with criticism from the open source community and even confusion by major software developers like Adobe.
Zac Bowling, a developer involved in the open source Mono project, was initially excited about the iPhone SDK, but now calls it a "joke" for the way Apple has locked-down applications on the device.
