Re: Epic
So your objection is that people should not be able to, for better or worse, install whatever they want on their own devices?
Hmm, so you wouldnt object to Microsoft telling you exactly what you can install on your Windows machine? Or Linus Torvalds being the gatekeeper for what programs you can install on your Linux box?
By the way, I object strongly to what you've written. " If Apple were ultimately forced to allow third party stores access to their devices, that would remove Apple's control over what software is allowed on an iDevice..." The Device in question belongs to the Person who bought it. It is not Apple's Device to decide what can go on it...
