These developers do a great job and make the kind of necessary enhancements that should have been included.



Someone mentioned above syncing mp3's with itunes, while that is a handy feature, not what i was looking for. It's the applications that set,the iphone apart, and the fact that you can modify the menus on your computer.

Using the ipod touch tethered to your tp2 doesnt' work that well. The location based services work off of the nearest hotspot and a cellular phone doesn't broadcast the correct location. Tried this method for months but finally got fed up with it. Carrying my blackberry curve, tp2 and ipod touch wasn't as user friendly as you might think.

How about an iphone emulator that downscales the resolution of the touch pro 2 to iphone resolution? Surely using the apple SDK that would be possible. All I want is the apps.

They are not "Developing" ROM's they are borrowing pieces from MicroSoft and other GSM phones that are ahead of CDMA phones and cobbling together ROMs. BlueTooth from this phone, VideoDriver from another. And a few home grown tools like battery meters and some eye candy. Even WITH SOURCE for Android, it is a ton of work getting it ported over for almost identical architecture. And it is drivers that cause most the the issues. You are dreaming. You probably could not get it for a $100K. And if you did it would run like a pig because iPhones run much faster processors.

If you want to stay on CDMA get a stupid iPod touch, it does 90% of what an iPhone does and you can tether it to your CDMA phone and use it anywhere.
