    As we clearly know, this is about preserving the App store stranglehold and cash cow and not about user experience or device performance.

    But would you put up with with it in another context. How about Sharp's new 4 color TV technology. I don't know how great it is, but say its amazing. Now you by the TV and discover that you can't get HBO, Skinemax etc on it. No technical reason, just that Sharp disallows it. Why? Well Sharp started a PPV service that is integrated with the TV and they feel that those channels compete with their new business model for the TV by showing movies.

    Would you put up with that?

    • I'm not sure if it is "clear" because Jobs main point was the focus on the iPhone user experience. That's why Flash is out.
