The difference though between Android and Apple, is that 3rd party applications can still be installed other ways. Apple has blocked all mechanisms to allow apps to be distributed and installed onto the iPhone (other then jailbreaking, which is basically hacking the iphone). There is also nothing stopping users from setting up their own application stores on Android also. That being said, I think this site is a good idea, but that opinions by the author should be kept to comments rather then embedded in the posts (because, it sounds like the author is making excuses for Apple on the late posts sometimes, which makes it seem a bit dodgy). @Hakan.
