Simply put: because I’m going to buy Hold’em Poker.
This arguing over the quality and breadth of the SDK is so beyond pointless that it ceases to be funny very quick. You are either on the money train and are going to make software for a device that sold 4 million units in the last several months, or you’re not. Each one of those units is $350+, plus they buy videos, music, and other crap all the time through iTunes, and they’re going to buy apps.
Take the SDK, make a good app under whatever limitations Apple has put on, and make some money. Don’t complain about the fact that the SDK limits your ability to push the boundaries of stability. I want stability. I have several PCs for primary machines, so having a phone that doesn’t crash is kinda nice.

1Being anti competitive is BAD. Didn’t you learn anything from Microsoft?
Not allowing a JVM to run or an app like Firefox be developed is BAD.

2I’m not saying that I don’t see the potential of what COULD be done with the iPhone, but I am saying that in this case I think more than anything they are protecting the stability of a phone more than limiting development of a computer.
