MinceR | it must be fun to pay $100 for something that should be free | Apr 21 21:01 |
Balrog | it does remove the restrictions of everything being proprietary (third party apps available) and controlled (you can jailbreak) | Apr 21 21:01 |
Balrog | MinceR: the $100 also gives you the ability to sell apps in the store | Apr 21 21:01 |
MinceR | what if i don't want to sell apps? | Apr 21 21:02 |
Balrog | then jailbreak | Apr 21 21:02 |
MinceR | ok, my fault for expecting reason from apple fanboys | Apr 21 21:02 |
MinceR | they'd pay $100 for a piece of turd if it had an apple logo on it | Apr 21 21:02 |
