Windows Phone 7 Series devices to accept apps only from Windows Phone Marketplace

Well this is just like the iPhone and the Pre... Give it 5 hours after release and developers will make a way to Jail-break the device to install homebrew apps... But just like jail-broken iPhones and Xboxes, if they catch you they will probably prevent your accts from being able to access the direct Microsoft Services. This is implemented to force quality control, so it makes sense, I just don't agree with this process 100%... more like 60% agree.

So will there be a 6.9 HD2? Might be my last WM phone.

I agree with the quality control as well. Still, I wonder how many issues pop up b/c of non-licensed app usage....or if the quality control is merely a price control to get more profit for Microsoft. Not a conspiracy theorist, just wondering what the motivating reasons are.

They're emulating Apple - for image and profit.

Ya it works fine for Apple so I guess they think it will work for them. More reasins to stay with 6.5 with HTC Sense, for me atleast.
