Apple is the software and the hardware, it's not the service provider. AT&T is to blame 100% for crappy plans and poor customer service.
As for the software, I suppose that's subjective. I think it's perfect the way it is, and as a Mac user, customizing the thing doesn't make sense. It's like you drive civics your whole life, modifying them like crazy to squeeze as much out of them as possible, and you finally buy a Porsche and you don't need to modify it.

Funny you mention that considering AT&T is the least innovative of the major carriers. Sprint Nextel and Verizon are on Rev. A of their EVDO network. Sprint Nextel is gearing up for a nationwide WiMax (4G) rollout. AT&T? They're still chugging along on an old EDGE network that's barely faster than dialup. Innovation is not AT&T's strong suit.
