The critical factor for me is that with android I can just upload a package somewhere[1] and people can use it. Having to ask permission all the time is a return to the bad old days of controlled media. I don't think Apple are "evil" etc etc, it's simply the necessary side effect of a fairly old fashioned business model. This explains the problem quite well: http://michelf.com/weblog/2011/gpl-ios-app-store/ cheers, dave [1] http://www.pawfal.org/dave/files/fluxus.apk
