You can say a similar thing when government legislates your business as illegal. Large amount of regulators can be very opaque, and you only find out after the fact a month or two after you've started business.

Actually the fact the G1 uses micro-sd vs internal memory is better, since if all you want is a memory upgrade, you don't need to sell your phone, get a new contract and spends hundreds extra just for that extra 16GB. There are 16GB microS

I generally have clients sign up for their own apple certificate under their company, so the app purchases go directly to their bank account, the app the branded under their company name, and you don't have to think about that.

You can code your app in whatever scripting language you want, but it can't download and execute code arbitrarily. For example, the unity game engine for iPhone uses mono & C#/javascript for all it's game programming/scripting. But wh

I wouldn't say that PKI & checking is far off, what do you think the entire app store dev platform is built on after all? I think the DRM is similar too.
