Story: Why Apple's iPhone is like a 1981 IBM PC

Stability

After 20 years in IT and spending most of my time wrestling with an XP laptop and all its clunky software (Just so I can access my more reliable Unix variants !!) I just want a quite life now and if stability of the iPhone means that Apple have to limit access then good for Apple.

Its a little annoying when people think they have a right to hack into Apples code - You would'nt get upset if Zanussi stopped you taking the back off your washing machine.
