I thought the original article was about locked platforms. I don't have access to any of my data on my iPhone except photos and video. Everything else is sealed up in that system with no way to get at it. How is that better? If I had root I could get at that data. That's not taking away from your point that Web apps may have similar problems but there's at least 3 distinct platforms * Open Computers with native apps (Windows, Mac, Linux) * Closed computers with native apps (iOS, Android, XBox, PS3, ...) * The Web The article is ranting about closed computers with native apps.
