Once again, compare the iPhone development community verse the Android development community. Consumers have voted with their pocket book and have overwhelmingly gone the iPhone route. If you don't want to go that route, it's fine. A robust marketplace gives people all sorts of choices. But insisting that true consumer choice is only possible if everyone makes the same choice as you is rather egocentric.
Apple has not ignored the jailbreak community. They havent stopped them yet. Also consumers have not voted overwhelmingly for iphone. It just started first. Android being on all 4 US carriers have caused it to quickly catch up with iphone. Withing a year iphone with be on Verizon to help stem the android tide. I hope they fail.
