Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, was interviewed by LaptopMag.com about various topics surrounding Apple.
Wozniak provides his insight into Leopard, Mac Marketshare, as well as some disappointment at the direction computers have gone:
Early on with the first Apples, we had these dreams that the computer would let you know what you wanted to do. .... The real dreams of how it will work for someone who knows nothing about the computer have been lost and don't get addressed anymore.
Also of interest, Wozniak is specifically asked about what his opinions are on the iPhone. Woz is clear that he feels that the iPhone should be "more like a computer" and Apple should allow anyone to develop applications for it. Regarding jailbreaking the iPhone for 3rd party applications:
[Apple has] a right to lock [the iPhone]. But I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I'd really like it to be open to new applications. I'd like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I've made? How would that hurt AT&T's network? Here is Steve Jobs sending letters to the record companies saying [they] should provide music that's unprotected, but here he is taking the opposite approach with the iPhone. I don't know to what extent AT&T is involved in the thinking and direction.
While Apple has announced they are working on a Software Development Kit to be released in February 2008, the details of the restrictions have not yet been announced.
Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 along with Steve Jobs.
