Corporate America likes the iPhones over the Androids.

Yes, and exactly for Greg's reasons that the iPhone is closed, it is
what it is and therefore everybody's is the same.

That is also the reason corporate America embraced the IBM PS/2
PCs.Guys were not buying mail order cards and loading shaky drivers on
their "work" machines. Everything was licensed and verified that it
would not conflict with anything else. You didn't have all those IRQ
conflicts and drivers stealing each other's resources.

I had all the PS/2 parts I wanted and ran them for years until I
started wanting to do things IBM did not think a PS/2 user needed. I
was not going to trade IBM's vision for Apple's vision of what I
wanted so I went for the open hardware of WinTel and I deal with the
conflicts I might encounter.

I am sure Harry understands that if an ap he buys "bricks" his phone,
it is on him to fix it now.

Well, here's a little tidbit. So one of the apps I got from Harry's
list.. iBlacklst bricked my iphone. wouldn't boot up past the apple. I
got into it with SSH, renamed the Application folder .. found out how
on the web, no big deal. The phone booted up. So, I renamed the folder
back to the original name, then got into Cydia, removed the app, then
downloaded another one to fix the icons not displaying properly. I
restored the phone from the last backup (itunes creates one when you
sync... the only hassle I had was remembering the backup password, but
I found it) All I had to do past that was put some of the icons back
in some folders. Too about an hour.

Oh, and **** you Harry. Heh..
