Sil, it just seems that Apple is not targeting u as their main audience. In bringing computing to the masses, techies like many of us are gonna be swept to the wayside. We either have to switch or live with the changes by becoming even better hackers...
Weird, Android has the same options I just described and yet normal people manage to use their Android phones. My Nokia phone with Belle is as easy to use as an iPhone or Android phone. This isn't about simplicity, but the control freak nature of Apple and their greed in wanting a 30% cut of everything iOS related.
Apple doesn't have to make "sideloading" apps a one step process, but why not allow anyone who pays $100 for developer access to simply unlock the feature after a quick tether to their developer system? The answer? Apple would never see another penny for iOS content from myself and others who decided to pay the extra $100 up front.
