Well, yes, if the company strategy is to have a walled garden ala the Apple iPhone App store, life is much simpler. But if the requirements mean that apps don't need preapproval, the requirements on the platform get harder. I think the take-home here is we have a requirement that the platform behave well even without someone screening the applications for the "default SW repository". -- Ted > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
