I understand the argument for quality control, but if you want to be totally frank about it – You could liken Apple’s strict control, and paranoia about 3rd party apps to the Nazi regime (O.k, I’m being alarmist, but I have a point).

I mean, let’s face it. The people that buy an Android mobile, and the people that buy an iPhone are completely different. The iPhone crowd NEED to be told what they can and can’t do. People that know about and buy an Android phone are people generally more tech savvy, and able to make their own informed decisions, on what to run and what not to run.

Creativity will flow far more freely on a open slather base than it will in tightly controlled conformity. So bring on the Android Apps!
