My main problem with this is the way the App Store functions as a closed platform.
Apple decide who can trade - and their criteria is unknown. They have full control over the market. A small developer, making their living from selling a iPhone or iPad app, can be dumped tomorrow with no reason given. It's wrong, imo.
In the short-term - if the closed model is going to exist - I think Apple should be forced to allow competing App Stores for all of their closed platforms. Government agencies should intervene if necessary (DoJ?).
- I totally see your point. It's Apple's way of maintaining quality control. That being said, I'm really happy with the offerings in the Store.monospaced
- offerings in the store. I can't wait to see how this develops.monospaced
- Well, yeah - they'd say it's quality control - but it's also to do with profit. They are as greedy as any other corp.lukus_W
- I hate to admit it - but I do kind of want an iPad .. but only if it's jailbroken.lukus_W
- can you REALLY blame them?monospaced
- (why should I have to be criminalised for wanting access to my own computing device?)lukus_W
- Hahaha. What would you do if it was "jailbroken?"monospaced
- I reckon it will be jailbroken - the main question is, will Apple ever do anything to brick devices which have been modified?lukus_W
