Competition For the App Store Is Mounting
MojoKid writes "Right now the only real 'competition' to Apple's App Store is the Android Market. Presently, anyone using an Android-based phone can download applications from the Android Market, which first started offering free applications in October '08. A drawback to Android application developers, however, is the fact that the potential Android Market user base is fairly small right now, as there is presently only one Android phone available, the T-Mobile G1. However, in the coming months we're also going to see more app stores come online for additional smartphone platforms. Nokia will officially launch an app store for its Symbian OS-based smartphones at Mobile World Congress on Monday. Microsoft is also getting in the game for smartphones that run the Windows Mobile OS, with Steve Ballmer delivering the keynote speech at Mobile World Congress as well."
I am sick of this Jewish bullshit. Why the fuck are our precious taxpayer dollars going to some bullshit piece of shit slit of land for some Jews. All our politicians have to basically bend over and take it in the ass for Israel because a bunch of fat rich jews whose parents were nowhere near Nazi Germany have guilted the US into giving away tax dollars to support an aggressive genocide. These Israeli bastards hide behind the cloak of "never again" at any cost. They are willing to even be as damning as the Nazis before them just to preserve their artificial state given to them by the then and always spineless UN. I don't see the US giving African Americans their own state and supporting it with billions in tax dollars. I don't see the Irish getting support in Northern Ireland by the US after being treated like shit in the US. It took a nuclear bomb on Japan totally unrelated to the interment camps in the US for the Japanese to get a US protected country. Why are the Jews so special. Their population in the US is 5 million, less than the total population of New York City yet their influence is comparable to China diplomatically. I say fuck Israel and it's racist Jews. Pull out all funding and weapons and let them work it out on their own. Perhaps we could focus on actually 3rd world countries and fix up and at least lend a REAL helping hand instead of helping Israel engage in the annihilation of the Palestinians. Between them the blame and fault goes both ways but i'll be damned if I will support a bunch of crybabies with US grade weapons attack what amounts to a third world country in their backyard by bringing the Nazis into it once again. Prominent Jews once again go on playing the victim no matter where in the food chain they are.
I'm glad I don't have a whole country full of deceitful, greedy kikes stealing all my water and land anywhere near me. Fucking Jews can't just live in peace. They have to steal other people's land. Our national economy is collapsing from the Jewbanks doing their usual Jewthing. You see, with Jews, you lose. That's how THEY win. They WIN by making YOU lose. So let's lose the Jews.
Why in the fuck are our precious taxpayer dollars going to some shitty slit of land for some Jews? Global warming could be swiftly solved if we just incinerated all of them. Their ashes would be ejected into the upper atmosphere, where they would block some sunlight from hitting the earth. The international economy would improve thanks to the absence of Jewish predatory lending, and it would buy us time to deal with climate change. Two birds, one stone.

I can't believe no one else is talking about this. The iPhone App Store is anti-competitive. You can only sell iPhone Apps through it alone. That's bad for developers and bad for consumers. Apple has already abused it's monopoly position by not allowing certain apps that compete with their offerings. This is dramatically different than their Music store/ipod model because you can buy music from anywhere so long as it is DRM-Free. This is not the case with the App Store. Buy from Apple or not at all.
