Having less choice was touted as good (TM). In that vein having no choice must be the ultimate greatness. I just don't get it. Why the heck do IT folks who know this crap from left and right keep blindly celebrating whatever that company comes up with. Just because they have huge market cap, is money really your primary judge of whats good and moral and worthy of your resources? Phones went from useful portable call/sms device into by far the most important electronic device in our lives and there is no way back. More than any shininess and massive PR I care about options it gives me. Options means freedom, coupled of course with responsibility. I, nor absolutely nobody I know of in IT, is installing random unknown apps just for the heck of it. But when I need to and I know what I am doing, I can do it without breaking a sweat since its my and only my darn device and its basic purpose is installing & running apps. That's just basic freedom, and darn important one. I've heard all the arguments for apple, here and elsewhere. Nothing, even combined together, trumps freedom of choice and thats directly against the core of their company policy. Time for some EU decisions I'd say to get superior product than elsewhere (although they will try to cripple it hard, very hard as we've seen in few childish steps recently).
