Adobe want to produce an app that the purchaser of the machine may want to install. It is the <i>purchaser's</i> machine, not Apple's, therefore, Adobe should have the absolute right to produce apps and the purchaser/owner of the machine should have the absolute right to install it. Nothing to do with the manufacturer of the machine. It is because of Apple's rampant control freakery that I will never buy one. They do not tell me what I can or cannot install onto <i>my</i> machine. That they continue to do so, is a continued reason not to give them my money.<br /><br />Free markets - wonderful, eh?Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-77654343622119482012010-04-25T10:17:44.112+01:002010-04-25T10:17:44.112+01:00Nice post Julia.

I have O2 anyway as it turns out, but I don't want the contract that comes with this phone. I also don't much like Apple's control freakery over what apps I might want to put on the phone. Once I've bought it, it's mine and I'll do as I please with it, not what Steve Jobs thinks I should do with it. Jobs disagrees. Fair enough, that's his choice. My choice is that I won't give him my money.<br /><br />Simples, eh?Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-71046013886956095102010-04-25T09:32:06.900+01:002010-04-25T09:32:06.900+01:00Apple is not there to create freedom it is a compa...Apple is not there to create freedom it is a company that makes profit out of its customers. When its dedicated following of customers realise that they can get something they want elsewhere for less money this represents a loss to apple and a gain for the consumer. I do not try to play porn on my Wii because it was not designed to do that well and it would be cost prohibitive never mind a bit daft although I'm sure someone has complained that Nintendo don't stock their favourite slice of porn in their software range. Why do people insist on trying to run Andriod or Windows on an iPhone?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594481483171507584noreply@blogger.com
