Again with the signing. sigh The purpose of the signing is so that they can identify the developers of any rogue apps. That way they can crack open the sandbox and (theoretically) offer you a little bit more freedom, since they know if you misbehave they can track you down (or possibly revoke your keys so that your apps stop working? <- so far as I am aware your apps on their phiones will still work even without network access, so probably not this) There's lots of reasons to get stroppy at RIM, but code signing is the very least of them, and if you squint hard enough and look sideways it's actually a good thing.

I'm not complaining about signing per se. I'm complaining that I'll have to re-sign applications that are already perfectly well signed, using a process that I'm sure will involve lots of obscure, poorly documented and error prone tools that I have no other reason to want to install or use, all to give some faceless RIM executives a power trip. There is nothing to stop RIM from tracking me via the certificate I already use for my Android APKs. They should just import them and verify them the way any Android phone does.
