@ 15:56 tweeted, "@gruber Re the unlocked issue: I'm not buying the idea that the iPhone can't be sold so in the US-I paid for it. (The iPad is sold unlkd.)"

@ 15:51 tweeted, "@gruber Only to an extent: if devs don't have freedom, then neither do the cust, as most aren't programmers."

@ 14:26 tweeted, "@runsamok And that's not even the point: *I* am paying for the device."

@ 14:22 tweeted, "@runsamok That is the shittiest line of reasoning I can think of. Yes, I'm a minority, but, to offer an unlocked device can't be difficult."

@ 14:08 tweeted, "@runsamok In fact, back in "the day"-about 11 yrs ago-there were many mobiles that weren't even multi-band capable and were carrier locked."

@ 14:04 tweeted, "@runsamok Um, I think not. I've lived in Germany for years where they have done and do the same thing as in the US."

@ 09:58 tweeted, "@gruber You may not feel this way: closed/bureaucratic app store process, sometimes terrible treatment of developers and no unlocked phones."

@ 06:40 tweeted, "While @gruber is right re "Google, Friend of Carriers" (via http://goo.gl/bbsI), I think Apple can be an enemy of both Carrier & Customer."
