That would explain why they continually work to stymie any attempt on the part of independent developers to extend the capabilities of the current Edge. Thus far the only concession they've made to developers has been releasing GPL-based source code, and that was only done after discussion of legal remedies...and after jcase figured out how to enable debugging on the device, they killed that functionality with the Dingo update, giving some lame excuse about how they didn't want to scare away developers who want to sell their apps on the Entourage store (you know, the store that has no payment processing capabilities).
