[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 702982, member: 22866"] I understand that there are other issues causing Apple to not allow this like AT&T contractual issues, but this is just one situation where not having the freedom to use any app a person or company makes is crippling for the end users because there is no other way to gets apps on the phone. If Apple doesn't want to officially host such an app because of an agreement with AT&T, that's fine. But if we had the opportunity to load apps other ways, it would be better. I just think it's too much control that Apple decides what apps I can or can't have. They can make their own apps and stifle competition by not allowing anything similar to go into the app store, hence my mention of TomTom developing a GPS app. [/QUOTE]
