Hurrah!

Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage at the D: All Things Digital Conference near San Diego and announced that his company is working to make its eagerly anticipated mobile phone open to outside developers, reversing months of skeptical statements about third-party involvement.
For software makers, the latest pronouncement by Jobs, though lacking specifics, couldn’t be more welcome. It indicates that they’ll have a chance to create versions of their apps—or come up with entirely new programs—that will run on what potentially could be the most popular mobile device since Apple’s iPod.

Although I won't get this (cost mainly), I think its a much-needed move. Jobs doesn't like this sort of thing, but I think he realised that 3rd party support is needed to help maintain the life of a device (think of an OS with no 3rd party apps!"
Hopefully its less restricted than the usual stock quotes/weather report widgets.
