iOS 4 Releases Today

tekgoblin writes "Today Apple releases the much anticipated iOS 4 for iPhones and iPod Touches. No word on when we will see this update on the iPad." Can't wait to see all the neat new stuff that won't run on my stale phone.

So submit well written story summaries for the news items you think are underreported. /. is community driven news after all.

Not at all

If Apple really was interested in stability, it'd a lot easier to swallow, but every time they update their licensing they put the lie to that sentiment.

In what way? Why can you not have a primary goal of stability while ALSO supporting a number of secondary goals?

And the stability I am talking about is SYSTEM stability, not app stability. Apple likes to ship apps that at least do not crash - beyond that, the underlying system remains stable and performant for the user no matter what madness the app might suddenly exhibit, because of the way the system is designed.

Which is part of the danger, since its not just apps that Apple censors (at random)

Apple does not censor (since Apple cannot control other publishing paths, Apple is only a distributor), and as I said the rejection of applications is not random, not even close to random.

When the public is unaware that they're being censored

How would they be unaware? There have been numerous stories about rejections. It's not like Apple keeps those things quiet, nor can they.

And anyone can load a PDF or ePub file into iBooks so sell it your own damn self if Apple is not willing to distribute it for you.
