The pressure group is raising a petition:
http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ipad, because the new iPad is full of DRM
which basically stops users from doing anything with it except things that are
'approved' by Apple.
Personally, I might have bought one eventually, but not if I can't install
software on it that isn't rubber-stamped by Apple. What if I wanted to write
my own App? There are few computing devices these days, (except single-
function gadgets), that don't allow Apps to be installed by users. I accept
that this probably won't bother the vast majority of users, but it bothers me.
Please consider signing.
