I'm not going to delve too deeply into this as I think I've said my piece.
So slightly jumbled as it comes to me:
- It may have been a twisted way to compare my original point but it was a ridiculous comparison to make to start with. This stuff is important, but not as important as slavery. Maybe you wanted to make it as ridiculous as possible to try show me up for being ridiculous, I don't know.
- I certainly did not claim the ecosystem was open. No where. I said that Apple had simplified the choice of if you want an open platform, this isn't it.
- Actually you do have the ability to pick another device, as there's other devices available thats not the iPhone. I'm not having you have a large, all encompassing choice, but you have a choice.
- I also never said demand. You're well within your rights to demand. Demand away. Scream at the top of your lungs for Apple to do it, and I'll cheer you on. I said you had no right to expect Apple to do something that they don't need to do. They exist to make products, they don't exist to make your product.
- We haven't had choice in what we can do with phones for nearly a decade. I didn't hear of people furiously blogging about how Nokia wouldn't open the 3210. The companies are making devices for the masses, who genuinely don't care about low-level access.
Like I said, I'd love Apple to open it up a bit more, even if it was similar to the WinMo 'official' jailbreak and it was enshrined, but I don't expect anything from a company that exists to make products. If I don't like what they're doing, I'll go elsewhere. If many people don't like what they're doing and go elsewhere, someone will eventually cater for their needs.
And I have read your comments, most of it's fairly sensible, but Mobile Flash didn't die because of iPhone, it died because it was crap on most devices. Don't blame Apple for an Adobe business decision.
