This was in reference to the iPhone, which if used in a way that won't help the terrorists is completely gated. The value that is brought by the gate is a controlled user experience. For example, there is not a question whether a given app will work in portrait mode because if your app does not conform to their guidelines users will never have access to it.

Now I guess that Nokia could do this, but it would be counter to what nokia has done in the past as well as current. I would personally hate to see this, I like that I can f*ck up my phone however and whenever i choose.
