I'm not an "Apple Fan" although I do appreciate products and tools that 
work.  I have no religious hang ups or allegiances to any one vendor over 
another - I prefer to use tools that fit the situation - without regard to 
who makes them or any religious debates.

You made an ad hominem attack - I called you on it.  Who's getting 
defensive?

Locked down in what ways?  Yes, you have to sign your apps and yes you 
have to distribute them through Apple - but then again the model they are 
using will give way more exposure to the average developer (i.e. Sunbelt 
vs. MS) then having to market yourself out there.

Quite frankly, it's way more open then I expected.  Heck, AOL showed off 
AIM right out the door and people just swore up and down that Apple/AT&T 
would never allow that because it would cut into text messaging fee's.

So, are these more baseless assumptions or do you have real examples of 
"restrictions" that are actually restrictive in the real world vs. the 
hypothetical land of illusion?

See, there you go with the baseless ad hominem attacks again - nasty 
habit...

And for the record, I'm more excited with the upcoming Lotus Notes push 
support that Apple panned - thank god I don't have to deal with Exchange 
(outlook isn't bad, but the back end is horrid).
