Why is apple censoring anything and why does anybody HAVE to go through the app store?

Isn’t this a free trade violation?

This is like car dealers who said any service OUTSIDE the dealership voided the warrenty. The same should apply here.

Well for this to get widespread adoption, the iphone app network would be the way to go. If we're just talking about the pic, then I would think you can make your wallpaper anything you want. Then again, I'm a blackberry owner.

What do you think the ratio of conservative/liberal owners of iphones is?

LOL... you need to see what Microsoft, Blackberry, and Android stores are trying to do. Microsoft is complaining that the Apple iPhone App Store is selling their apps *too cheap*.... :-) Microsoft and those others want to *censor* cheap apps and free apps....

Here’s what one poster said over there... :-)

“Quit crying, Microsoft. The AppStore is as close to a free market as you’ll find with sellers choosing their prices and buyers deciding to buy or not.”
