I say this as someone who's experienced both, I'd add.
And wow, another brilliant defence of "corporate rights", "bend over and do what we say". Sigh. (And yes, their criteria ARE secret, in part. This is a good part of the issue!)

Yet people still choose to make apps! isnt that weird in fact more apps than for any other equivalent device or in fact all other devices added together.
its swings and roundabouts i guess.
the point is people know all of that dawnfalcon and I would defend Apples rights to do whatever they choose on a device they make and sell!
No one has to buy an iPhone or program for the iPhone if people were unhappy enough then they would do neither and apple would start making more open devices.
However the market and apples success seems to say that as far as the majority are concerned tehy couldnt care less about walled gardens.
