I agree that it's a stretch.

Nothing prevents me from pointing the browser where I want to, or from syncing over any audio file, or movie, or ePub book that I want to.

The only thing they're curating is the contents of the shelves of their own store, and this is nothing that brick-and-mortar stores don't do every day.

Sure, I can't get my boob-jiggling app approved. But I also can't shoot amateur porn and get it on the shelves at Blockbuster.

Good point. If you dont like Apple's app store policies, just shop at one of the other iPad app stores. Simple.

Exactly. Like some Android market.

You forgot the s on Android markets.

Unlike Apple, there's more than just the default.
