Hooray!

I'm all for the "Walled Garden" experience in Apple products, I honestly love that I know exactly what quality to expect and that the content on my phone is incredibly high-quality.

With that being said, I am happy that developers are going to have the tools they need to make cross-developing easy for all devices. These guys work hard and deserve every penny they they get!

I still support Apple's anti-flash stance. They are stubborn, but they usually come out on top because of it!
The way I look at it when I spend $700 for a phone, it belongs to ME and I can do with it as I please.....and Steve Jobs can go to hell if he tries to tell me what I can and cannot do with my own property.

Who to thank for this...

The DoJ.

I'm sure the real story is Apple was afraid of an inquiry by the DoJ so they backed off and played it as if they are the good guys.

It's a pretty accurate title. Apple was being a little b!tch about the software tools developers used. I understand them not wanting to use flash IN their devices, but this move will make a whole lot of developers happy and keep more Apps coming for a...

"bowing to developer complaints" is exactly what Apple did. Developers complained about the new rules, and Apple relented.

Until...

That is until they change their minds again, or simply add some other restrictions, I suppose they could 'Randomly' reject apps just because, why not...

All the more reason to Not want Apple products, you never know if your fav apps will still be available next week or if you will ever see that cool app from another platform on i(p)OS... As it might get rejected for no valid reason, google some of the political apps they denied.
