Why is this any different from Apple saying that you can't download other software on your Macbook, unless you pay Apple 30% and buy it from their exclusive store?

Well, we're not talking about the Macbook here... we're talking about the iPhone.

As far as the MacBook goes, it's a different target market. MacBooks are targeted for professionals that do all sorts of things with them.

Instead they are beefing up the iPad, which has the same target market as the iPhone. That target market doesn't care about all this crap and just wants their tech to work.

IMO Apple has the right to create a feature limited tool.

However, I would not purchase such a MacBook Pro. I would purchase such a MacBook or iPhone though.
