Yeah, I think you're being unfair here, Guyren. While Apple clearly benefits from tightly controlling the iPhone platform, their decisions are motivated by what's best for consumers. That's what makes them different from Microsoft. - Do you want a phone with virus? - Do you want a phone that crashes all the time? - Do you want a rogue app to hose your phone? - Do you want to install apps from a non-centralized location? We already have all that today with regular computers. And, as much as love that freedom, the practical day-to-day experience of using computers kinda sucks. It's just that we're used to it, and it seems normal. Phones are much more mission critical devices, and I think a different set of policies is appropriate. -- Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
