It's nice to see other people noticing the problems that come built in to Steve Jobs' controlled world.
Analyst Sweeting says Apple's limitations make its products feel like living in a safe neighborhood. "Apple is offering you a gated community where there's a guard at the gate, and there's probably maid service, too."

As more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community.
Yep, Apple is going to sell a bazillion of them. Because in the final analysis, THIS is what people want - a safe, functional internet. It may not be the internet with all the porn and malware, but it's the internet with the useful stuff.
