I really like iPhones. But I won't ever own one if I can't sideload apps on it. Two simple reasons:
1) I think that only I should decide if I want to run that app. The manufacturer no longer owns the device after selling it to me
2) The corrupt government if my county likes to block apps and Apple does as they ask. One day they'll remove the apps I really need, and it is not acceptable for me.
