They are getting too closed and restrictive... :-( I am a registered developer and the registration was fully free. This means I can now open XCode and create an iPhone app project. An iPhone emulator is also part of the package. As for the restrictive nature, to a certain degree this guarantees the quality of the platform, and that I can understand as a motive. It bothers me more that some countries/regions are still second citizens in iTunes, and in pricing (EU as a cash cow). If I were to develop something for iPhone/iPad I'd most probably have a much less bumpier experience with a properly native end-result if choosing they own tools. XCode and ObjC are quite well made. We will see where all this leads. > Apple's "Think different" slogan seems to have vanished. Now they just > want more and more money, so they don't think any different at all... I'm still very happy in the environment they've created in OS X. Anyway I hope they will be tamed by healthy competitors on the market.
