Control = Stability
Apple is taking a practical approach to populating the Iphone/Itouch platforms with usable applications. If the creativity of 'developers' was allowed to run rampant across the platform, the next criticism of the devices would be that the processors and memory were ill-designed, and not sufficient to operate the device. Few would hear about the applications that were the real fault.
It's a smart move by Apple, and insures that legitimate applications are operational on the device without interfering with other operations.
Apple has done just about everything right with these devices to satisfy the users, and to hinder the abusers.
Bravo.
