I'm growing less concerned about it actually. If you believe that the world is moving towards web apps, then what programs you can install on your device becomes irrelevant. Google Voice runs well as a web app, and the $30 unlimited AT&T 3G plan means that users can treat web apps the same way as a local app - you don't have to worry about bandwidth or availability. Compare iPhone OS to Google Chrome OS. I understand that the browser will be the only application that can be installed on Chrome OS. Why isn't Google receive equal (or deservedly more) criticism for restricting the freedoms of its potential users and developers?
