If I was a developer I'd think twice about the environment Apple is
creating.
Removed for good reason. Nor did Apple remove all apps that provide
this function. Apple did remove several apps after it discovered that
these apps were accessing the iPhone's hardware in a way that Apple
had prohibited. Developers who don't want to play by Apple's rules
will find that there can be consequences.
If the iPhone owner does not want to participate in Apple's protective
cocoon all they have to do is jailbreak their iPhone. Similarly
developers can sell their apps to the jail broken iPhones through non-
Apple channels.
What's the big deal here?
