The same "walled garden" app store that is much maligned on HN?
2 comments

The only walls that need to be in place to prevent this are against malicious carrier app stores. There's no need to restrict users here, which is what people complain about.

Stopping carriers from ruining phones is quite popular on HN from what I've seen.

Yup.

Geeks don’t like it.

But Apple is a three-trillion-dollar corporation, because most folks aren’t geeks.

I’d bet a large sum of money the safari user agent holds the top spot for total number of mobile users for Tuesday US office hours. Maybe dang can validate or reject the hypothesis.
