    Yet one more reason why a lot of people are moving from feature-phones and WinMo to Android devices, rather than iPhones. The more they lock them down for stupid stuff (and it keeps making the news) the more people will take a second look when they're deciding on their next phone purchase choice.

    Apple can only rely on fanboys for so long before they have to start putting real capabilities into their devices.

    Listen up InfoWorld magazine, this is why Android is not, in fact, "doomed."

    Apple is like the China of computers. Seriously. Does nobody see this? The happy citizens continue on their oblivious way...

    All these Stalinist (Jobsist?) purges of applications from the App Store make fill me with a sense of satisfaction bordering on smugness that I choose to go Android instead. Not that I would have bought an iPhone anyway.

    I've got a bad feeling about this. Pretty soon the only apps left will be flashlights.

    Personally, I did not buy the iPhone for the apps so all this is unfortunate but not relevant to my customer experience. For anyone else though, where apps were a part of their decision making process, this is a discouraging move on Apple's behalf.

    I enjoy the juxtaposition. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away, Apple ran an ad smashing the Big Brother lockdown with their think different mantra. Now they're the ones locking everything down, and even Windows is throwing shit at the screen.

    No, they banned sexy things already. Oh, wait, you said flashlights. My bad.

    Sadly, that's how I read it the first time I saw it as well.
