Apple will soon release iPhone 1.1.4 which can be anticipated to continue opening access to the iPhone desktop. With the iPhone SDK soon to be available, Apple will try to enlist developers. EE Times predicts Apple may even go after developer talent that Google would want for their Linux mobile OS project. Apple, Google and Nokia (GPS Maps 2.0) are forcing the main stream cell operators out of their comfort zone, that being dictating product and service.
