Apple, telling you what you want.

Well, it's been a while since I wrote anything... but I've been brewing over the recent apple developments centering around their iPhone.

Apple,s in the middle (of what I hope) is a very valuable lesson for them. As time goes on Apple's more benevolent image transforms into that of a bully. Conjuring a picture of Steve Jobs as the gatekeeper for what can and can not be on the iPhone.

Sorry Steve, but people have a funny way of determining themselves what they do and do not want on their phones. Besides I thought you guys would have more sense then to make more drama in the middle of an DoJ investigation. But I guess the DoJ just wasn't enough ... you needed to get the FCC involved.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand.

Apple's been very used to their users simply accepting what they get... and given the mental state of the average apple user. I'd be surprised if they didn't personally write letters to the company thanking them for making choices for them.

However, as it turns out ... people as a whole don't enjoy getting told what to do.

As it stands right now, my iPhone is in serious jeopardy of getting dropped before my contract is up. Simply because i don't want to have to hack my phone to get it to do what I want. (Granted it's not all that bad; as I've got a jailbroken phone)

Every time you look around there's another app that get's rejected, with little to no reason outside of 'apple said so'.

The most recent thing that's been irking me is Apple's handling of Google. It does take some balls to attempt to push around a company the size of Google. Rejecting the Google Voice (which is a totally awesome service) combined with telling them to make Google Latitude a 'web' app... seems flat out stupid.

By denying Iphone users the capability to use these services; all your doing is making android that much more attractive to me.
