iPhone 4 Announced Today

I'm not sure what the big deal about the ruling is (not saying you're making a big deal but it seems to be getting an outsized level of press). The ruling says Apple can't sue you for doing something Apple has never sued anybody for doing. And Apple can still do what they've always done, not support jailbroken phones and do what they can to break unapproved stuff with software upgrades.

The ruling about read-aloud software is interesting. The publishers forced Amazon to make the text-to-speech feature on the Kindle configurable (and many publishers take advantage of that).
