Re: Still don't get it...
"OK, someone who does not want to have their device controlled by the manufacturer NEEDS to root it."
Again, you say "manufacturer control," I say feature.
The discussion was about Apple exerting control and you gave me some nonsense example about Google/Android. And why would you need to delete apps to free up RAM? Doesn't Android automatically kill apps and services as necessary to free up RAM? And why wouldn't you be able to delete FaceBook and YouTube anyway? The Nexus One is upgradeable to Gingerbread and I just checked and Gingerbread doesn't come with either of those apps, so you'd have to download them, so why wouldn't you be able to delete them? I have no idea what you're on about.
