Sorry for missing it (tone sucks in email). ;-)
I haven't really been following any of the "Steve Jobs" or new iP* TOS agreement threads, but I do need to say I agree with most everything you stated. I don't know when this was posted to Apple's site and if it's already been discussed here already, but Jobs posted a letter to the community detailing his thoughts on Flash, which can also be read into the new TOS: www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/?AID=10480621&PID=3821802&SID=188wkahuchtc7 Most importantly, as it likely pertains to Rev and other middle-ware developers working with Apple on their TOS: "We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers. This becomes even worse if the third party is supplying a cross platform development tool. The third party may not adopt enhancements from one platform unless they are available on all of their supported platforms. Hence developers only have access to the lowest common denominator set of features. Again, we cannot accept an outcome where developers are blocked from using our innovations and enhancements because they are not available on our competitor’s platforms." Read into it what you will.
