Isn't this simply the price for a great system with total integration? We can't have a stable, safe, curated system that performs incredibly well and evolves sometime on the back of third party apps (isn't that necessary, over time?), and yet at the SAME TIME have that system be open and fair to all developers? Someone is always upset. Apple could certainly be better, but they also are who they are, and balancing those compromises is always going to be difficult. I'm wondering if the Apple approach is actually better overall for technology and progress. I don't know for sure, but maybe we'll find out in coming years.
