Mozilla and Skype Take Aim at Apple's Closed iPhone Policies

As noted by The Register, Mozilla and Skype are lining up behind The Electronic Frontier Foundation's campaign to ease restrictions on iPhone jailbreaking. Both Skype and Mozilla have filings in to the U.S. Copyright Office arguing that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) should be changed to allow mobile phone users to choose to modify their handsets, applications and carriers. It's an argument for openness, and I'm surprised that more people aren't chastising Apple for its closed policies regarding both jailbreaking and iPhone application development.


Skype Lite Arrives for Android

Our sister blog JKOnTheRun cited the prediction early, and it turned out to be correct: Skype has delivered a lite version for the Android platform and over 100 Java-enabled phones. This is very good news for the wave of Android-based phones that I expect this year. Users will be able to make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other users around the world--very much in the spirit of phones based on an open source platform--and take advantage of low rates to people on landlines and mobile pones. For users of the G1 Android phone, the beta version of Skype Lite is available on Android Market. Check out more from JKOnTheRun.
