I can't wait for Android and other Linux phones to be on the market, so I can either jump ship, or maybe Apple will be pressured into opening up. It's unacceptable that they prevent users from accessing their own purchased handheld computer and exploiting its capabilities. Apple had better get their act together, or they deserve every bit of negative sentiment they're building up against their brand. They're walking a fine line here, and slipping down the wrong side. Either they sell us unlocked phones with full user access, or they stop trying to fight jailbreaking. Otherwise, it's Mac vs. Windows all over again, and they will find themselves marginalized again, after this incredible opportunity to pull ahead of their competition.
