Re: iPhone buyers are not the brightest bulbs in the string.

On the iPhone, if your app is rejected, however, you're SOL.
Unlike WinMo with its paid hosting. And unlike Android entirely (since you have an App Market *and* can install 3rd party apps).
If you don't want to submit your application to Apple and want to retain control over distribution just like WinMo, then sign up for an Enterprise developer account for $300, the same price as Visual Studio Standard. Then you don't submit anything to Apple, you distribute your app yourself through your own internal "store", and you can centrally manage it.

All the benefits of WinMo just went away.

And, regardless of how your Android app is distributed, the remote kill switch will still kill it. So saying you can install 3rd party apps means absolutely nothing, because the same rules apply.

Says who? Last I checked, the remote kill-switch refers to apps from the market - identical to the AppStore. Has no effect on 3rd party apps.
For an example, look at some of the tethering apps. Some of them have been removed by Google from the Market. None of them have been removed from any devices.

Thank you for correcting me. I don't have an Android to test it with, but I did find this: »www.engadgetmobile.com/2 ··· -rascals
