If I were able to program an app for the iPhone, I would love to spend $99 so that all those gazillion people can download my app for $0.99, making me a gazillionaire.
I doubt I'd get that kind of marketing value with my blog and signatures in the 5 forums I frequent.
I'm amazed that so many developers here don't see that.
How many copies of your programs have you sold with just your own website and self-made marketing? Oh, so you want to box it up and put it on shelves at Walmart, Saturn, Virgin etc.? Well guess what, your program needs to comply with some rules.
Mentioning Xbox, PS3, Kindle and what not ... those ALL need to be hacked to be fiddled with. Something you're free to do with your iPhone and iPad too.
Somehow I think most of you just want to be able to push around some bits and bytes and the simple "Thou shalt not do this and come running to us when you f*ck it all up" commandment just rubs you the wrong way.
Jailbreak and be happy.
