A correction is needed. They might have pulled those apps from the app store, but they didn't pull those apps from my machine. I still have them, can still use them and when I back up my machine, it'll be back on next restore.

I will just not get any updates. Only Amazon has deleted from the machine.

Apple decides they want only Safari on "their" device line, they can not only stop selling the alternatives, but can disable it on any device that connects to the network & syncs up.
This has never happened, not to my knowledge. Care to site a source of this happening?

This happened on the Kindle too, when they ironically pulled several Wells titles off people's devices, including 1984.
And they got sued and people won and got the media back.

With the N900, I can make a snapshot of just about anything and restore it back, without fear of Nokia deciding what is and isn't allowed on my device.
Same on the iPhone. I still have apps that have been since pulled and use them. I just don't get any updates whatsoever.
