So draconian control by Apple that results in less options for the consumer isn't a problem?
I'm not saying that Apple should be legally bound to include every app every submitted, but clauses that allow them to deny apps that have duplicate functionality is bullshit because that means Apple gets to kill any app they want by superseding it with their own. And I gotta say, I probably trust Apple a lot less than RIM, MS and Google in that area.
I guess I should've explained that a bit more.
I don't like that Apple has draconian control over the apps in the App Store, but to say it's anti-trust/anti-competitive isn't right either. It's their store. They can do what they want. And if it ever becomes a major problem for me, then I will switch. Right now, I can do what I want to on my phone, and the extras I can jailbreak for. I haven't ever felt hindered, as a consumer, by the choices Apple has made with the App Store. Because I have alternatives. I know I could go buy a NexusOne, or a Palm Pre, or a Blackberry, etc.. if I wanted to, or if the App Store ever got too much to bear.
So to sum it up, do I like the way Apple runs their store? No. Do I think they could still improve? Yes. But do I think it's against the law? No. Do I think they should be forced to change? No.
I think the developers need to get some balls and stand up to Apple if they really hate it that much. Yes, right now that's where money can be made, but if they hate it so much and there is so much angst over the policies, then leave. Make Android apps. Make WebOS apps, etc... If they just complain and don't actually do anything, then Apple will just keep doing what they want to do.
Right now, like I said, I have no problems with my iPhone. I can jailbreak and I can do everything I really would like to do with the phone. However, I will jump ship if something comes along that I really hate. Right now, though, I'm simply indifferent.
