Apple removed 5000 apps today from their app store and updated their terms and conditions of approving future applications.

  1. No images of women in bikinis
  2. No images of men in bikinis
  3. No skin
  4. No silhouettes
  5. No sexual connotations or innuendo
  6. Nothing that can be sexually arousing
  7. No apps will be approved that in any way imply sexual content
What gives Apple the right? It's their app store. What if you wanted to get a app that had something listed here? You can't. Thats closed source at its best and that is what Apple is all about. They want total control and they have it. People  used to slam Bill Gates for being greedy and wanting control, Steve Jobs & Apple is so much worse. 

As consumers we ultimately suffer however not for long. Google's Android is growing in popularity, I have an Android phone now. Google's Android is totally open source and I can install any application I want. 

Google's open source I think will ultimately win. Steve Jobs needs a reality check and Google will give it to him.

Recently it was announced that the Motoroal Droid will receive Android 2.1 update. The update will be rolled out using the over the air update system. At this time no date is given other than 'soon'. Motorola and Google have been working closely together for some time to bring this update to life. 

For Droid Eris users you are not forgotten, Android 2.1 is also coming although there may be a delay or an additional upgrade in between. 

New features in 2.1 includes animated backgrounds which look absolutely amazing. I have seen some videos demoing the new software and it looks great. Also included is every text field is a speak-to-text field. This should make texting easier.
