Jobs: 60m iPhone Apps Sold, Confirms Kill Switch Comments

By this time next year apples dominance will be complete

All Hail Jobsey

And just think Apple, and Jobs, didn't want to open the iPhone to apps at first, believing that web-apps were the way forward. I think it was only down to the popularity of Jailbreak, and its apps, that convinced them that built-in Apps were the way to go.

Should the title of the article not have been 'Apple confirms your iPhone is not your own'? A kill switch for any application they don't like? Why? They pre-vet the applications before they get put on iTunes, so they should already know what they do and whether they are safe or not. There is no official way to get an application on the iPhone apart from iTunes. So there should be no problem with any application on the iPhone unless it is loaded on a jailbroken phone (and in that case I doubt the kill switch would work anyway)

If either Nokia or Microsoft had built a kill switch for third party apps into their platforms there would be outrage! Why should Apple be any different?

Wait a minute - I'm Ben, but that's not me - we can all share names on the comments? :S

I'm surprised iPhone users aren't outraged by this. (look at what happened to Vistas DRM!) But maybe they like getting their iPhone chained down and destroyed...
