I disagree completely. If the iPhone SDK offered this sort of feature then people who want it (like me) could have it, and people who are not interested (like you) could pass.
The only 'protection' you need from apps like this is the freedom to choose them or not as you like. Crippling the platform is not the answer.
- DougBTX 18y agoThis app opens from a touch gesture, that's one step away from being a key logger. One of the benifits of the App Store is that you "know" the applicatins are safe, in that you can tell whether they are running or not. I'm still open to third party app stores though.
- jemmons 18y agoI'm sure this is what browser makers thought when they put in the ability to "pop up" a new window in front of the current one. "Some websites might use it for annoying or nefarious purposes, but the only protection people need is the freedom to not visit sites with popups." Of course, we've now lived through the truth. Nary a browser can be had without some (imperfect) form of popup blocker built-in to prevent the most egregious nastiness from invading our screens. Personally, I've never seen an interface that made use of popups in such a way so as to justify their existence. I'd just as soon the feature had never been implemented. If popup ads are something you appreciate, however, I have a counterproposal for you: The only protection you need from "crippled" platforms like the iPhone is the freedom to choose another phone.
