You can jailbreak your iOS devices, too, and it seems legal under the new DMCA interpretation. However, this is not what the majority of consumers can / want to do (estimates are around 10% of all iOS devices), so most iOS users are stuck with Apple-approved apps, and most Android users with skins, features, crapware and firmware updates deemed appropriate by the manufacturer and the carrier. But yes, Android users can install apps from other places if they flip the switch that defaults to just the Google market. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
