Apple May Market Third-Party Apps for the iPhone

Apple has alienated many of its customers by strictly limiting the types of third-party software that can run on the iPhone, which includes blocking the use of native applications. But, according to an unconfirmed report, the company may be putting together a system that will allow users to download approved programs to their smartphone.

The site 9 to 5 Mac is reporting that Apple will institute a system already used with other smartphones, most notably the Sidekick line, in which the maker of the device closely controls which third-party applications are available.

The same system might be used for the iPod Touch, which runs a virtually identical operating system.
