OHHH, I can't wait to try this, definitely an inventive use of technology, you know someone will still take the time to run around to spell dirty words though.
Thank god. Now all that shove-shit-ware won't be accidentally purchased by gullible people. Too much crap ware with names too similar to valid products... this should reel it in.
Good measure I say! Granted it's doubtful they will be able to keep up with all the apps and games released, but it's better than nothing. Maybe now the Iboobs app will get approved.
@Vecha: You must not own a Mac and OSX, they charge for all their Point Releases as well. Shouldn't come as a surprise to people who don't drink the Apple Kool-Aid.
(*note: iPhone owner, just refusing to be a fanboy of any company*)
@Tenshigure: You clearly don't own a Mac either. Having owned a MBP for roughly 2 and a half years, I have never had to pay for a point release. The upcoming Snow Leopard is an exception.
Translation: "Apple lets us do it on the sly and easy man."
It flies in the face of a uniform rating system across the industry which has been set up in order to help argue against the heavy handed criticisms of people that aren't involved. Breaking that can sew some nasty seeds into the patch. Is being easier really worth it?
I'll go with "No", as neither my cell-phone nor my MP3 (not an iPod but has games) are gaming devices, and it was never any factor in my purchase.
Unless you're a fanatic follower of Apple, you will have bought the iPhone for the purpose of calling people, or at the very least for the sake of handy internet.
If you bought it for such things as the Fart-app then not even lol, Jesus can help you.
Damned laptop track pad, I think I may have voted "I hate Apple", which is pretty innacurate considering I'm getting a Touch at the end of the month. My vote should have read "Yes".
This certainly seems to be the burning issue at the moment.

Actually, it's age rating. To distinguish violent shovelware from clown and rainbow shovelware, for all those iPhone toting 4 year olds.

*IF* I had an iPhone and *IF* I had a four year old, the two would not meet. Evar.

Somebody must be spoonfeeding you some bullshit, as the semi-frequent updates to Mac OS X are FREE.

I prefer the DS over the PSP, but I still think it's a gaming machine first, Sony or no Sony. It was designed to make games.
