What, that the iPhone SDK targets a very specific and limited set of devices, and the Android SDK targets nothing and everything at the same time?
Quite the perspective. . . .

Even the willingness to cough up $99/year may not be enough to develop for the iPhone since Apple still have at accept your application.

It can be better. Since all apps will be reviewed individually you can pay $99 and got all your programs rejected

It's interesting how many people ***** about the iphone in general and Apple's ways of propelling the iphone to commercial success (which in turn will make a sizeable userbase, which makes it an attractive platform for developers, which will make it a thriving platform which in turn benefits the user, etc, etc, etc).
Can anyone quote me a successful completely free and open platform with sizeable userbase which everyone seems to be clamoring about? Does such thing exist?

Then again it isn't free (companies have to buy usually the hardware that it's ran on). Though neither is Apple for that matter (it's even less free).
Though really what benefit is there for us? Of course we rather see open things succeed (whether it be a NIT, Google Android, whatever, it benefits us compared to close sourced code that you'd only be able to run on Apple hardware). Compared to closed source code we'd never be privy too and if we wanted to use it, we'd have to use an Apple whatever.
So the only benefit is for those inside the loop. For those who don't like the loop to begin with, there is no benefit.

on that note, firefox is still under that mozilla license, no?
still, i guess it depends on what one put into the word free, freedom or beer
