Apple tries to control the whole experience which is understandable from their perspective. Until now, they've never done anything to keep you from trying out different 3rd party solutions if you are, for example one of the people that need to know exactly where your Kenny Loggins collection is stored.
The past few days I have had a chance to think about what they where doing and soon realized that this is very unApple like. In fact it is very Sony, RIAA, Telcom like.
I was under the impression that this iPhone update would only affect unlocked and not jailbroken phones. They seem to have made 3rd party apps unusable. I was wrong and have since changed my stance. I don't like this direction at all.
