The successful ones are always the bad guys, remember? David is always the hero and Goliath is always the villain. The more successful and influential you are, you just become a larger target.

The problem (or the answer, depending on how you look at it) is Droid. With Google giving most devs free reign and a much more open system, Apple is looking more and more like a puritanical censorship-laden distopia.

The only way to maximize your iphone's potential is to jailbreak, which is unfortunate. Jobs's ego gets in the way too often, dictating to the consumer how they can use the phone that they bought and own.

So I guess Sony has an ego too because they don't allow you to run homebrew on your PS3? Hell, they won't even let you run Linux anymore, Kaz must be an egotist.

Get over that stupid argument. In order to keep consistency and order on a platform, there need to be rules. That goes with anything in life. Rules are always there for a reason. There hasn't been a single scheme yet on the iPhone with an app phishing or stealing anything from users phones, whereas this sort of thing has happened several times on Android already. With such little restrictions, you gotta pay a price, and unfortunately about 95% of average consumers aren't willing to pay that price or take that risk. They would much rather download something knowing it's safe, instead of having to do a little research to find out whether something will be harmful. Unfortunately, the majority of people aren't like tech snobs who think they should be allowed to run whatever kind of piracy or hack they want. Since Apple is the distributor for each app within iTunes, they get all the backlash when some parent finds his 12 yr old son downloading something inappropriate on his iPhone.

And just so you know, Google DOES have rules and guidelines for the Android market. They just don't enforce them very well.

Apple isnt in gaming. Thats just fact

I never said Apple was a gaming company, did I? I talked about the nature of distributing software on game platforms versus iPhone, since that guy mentioned PSP/DS having a more open environment, which simply isn't true. It's not a pro-Apple or anti-Apple comment, its simply facts. And fact is, any average joe can't distribute and sell software on a PSP/DS the same way he can on an iPhone.

@Stealth20k they may not be a primary gaming company but that have done something to gaming for example Sony have tried to release minis to attract the audience Apple is getting....They definitely are influential in the gaming market (unknown if this was by accident but I doubt it...... its apple remember they love to try and dominate the world)
