I think a lot of people don't get this... Apple doesn't sell things. They sell an experience... not a product. HP sells a product. Once they sell it, they don't care what type of user experience you have - it doesn't matter if you can't understand tech support. Or Best Buy techs get to take it apart... Apple sells an experience. They want your user interface to be simple, easy to use; your tech support experience to be excellent - all the way through the interaction with Apple, they want the experience to be excellent. I wholeheartedly support their desire to control apps on iPhone or iPad - because they are controlling the entire experience. Not the product. It's a great business model. In spite of the recession, Apple stock has done great, and their market segment has grown. Perhaps other companies need to "get real" and control more of their entire distribution and experience - instead of dropping a crap bomb on the consumer, and saying "out of our control... "
