Why do you think it's interesting to make up nonsense? The "new American ideology"? What planet are you on? Do you think that anything you pull out of your rear is worth posting on the Internet?
Hmm. I'm actually quite sympathetic to the argument that electronics makers shouldn't be allowed to lock out homebrew uses of their devices, but you're confused in this case.
Apple is refusing to distribute this application through their store. No one with half a brain would begrudge them this. The interesting moral and competitive question is whether or not Apple should be allowed to prevent other (non-Apple) app stores from distributing content to the device. And that's a hard question.
