Things like copies of games, software, etc; so YES there will definitely be people still making apps and things that won't be posted to iTunes.</p> in regards to your answer to #3, there will still be a healthy community for jailbreak type software due to copywrite issues with some ports of current programs that Apple won’t allow to be posted on iTunes for fear of lawsuits.

  • In late June when Apple pushes out the next major iPhone firmware update (2.0) to users.

  • Yes

  • If by free you mean unauthorized software available for Jailbroken iPhones today, the answer is… that’s up to the developers who wrote those apps. If they choose to list their app(s) on iTunes at no charge, then they will remain free. And Steve Jobs confirmed yesterday that iTunes will distribute FREE iPhone apps. But it’s important to keep in mind the reason why jaibreak applications are free is because there is currently no way to monetize hacked iPhone software through current distribution methods (app repositories). iTunes will change that, so my hunch is we can expect to see FAR fewer “free” apps.

    1. when do we expect to see the first software for users?
    2. will they all be on itunes?
    3. will all the free ones be ported over? or will some form of installer.app be in SDK and the rest will work the same as before?
    4. will there be anything for free anymore? itunes would probably charge.

    Thanks
