The types of people that would want this can already do it with their smart phones. What's gained by crippling a device to only support certain classes of apps?


It's like comparing Advil to Heroin. Heroin is better at numbing pain, but people prefer to take Advil as it's not addictive and won't damage us.


Someone cripples the device for me in a user friendly manner that doesn't require me to think about which apps I should avoid whenever I visit the app store.
