Re: LIke I-Phone Like MAC vs PC.

Allow me to spell it out for you then.

It's like saying Apple can tell you what you can and can't do with something they built, just because they built it and you bought it.

It's like saying that if Apple said "no alternative operating systems" I can't strip OSX off my ibook and slap a linux distro on it.

It's like saying that if Apple said "no alternative browsers" I couldn't go download Opera or Camino.

It's like saying that if Apple said "you MUST drink the kool-aid!" I couldn't refuse.

Well, sure, I'll give you that they have a right to say "You're using an ibook as a DOORSTOP?! You CAN'T DO THAT!!" ...but that doesn't take away my right to use said ibook as a doorstop.

They're free to try and prevent jailbreaking, but once they sell me the phone it belongs to me. I can then do anything I want with it including jailbreaking it or throwing it into a volcano. Once I buy it Apple loses any say in what I do with it.
