If I had been asked to bet on whether or not Steve Jobs would have accepted the very fair proposal that RunRev made, I would have give odds that he would. I think I see now that Steve Jobs is taking the stance that any development environment for the iPhone/iPad that is not their own is unacceptable, even if the finished app is demonstrably identical to one from their own compiler.

I just had a very long chat with an Apple Store employee. I got to the place where he insisted that Apple has always exhibited this level of control over their products. I said, "Really? Well actually they have not. Would you really want the same kind of approval process we have for iPhone/iPad apps enforced for ALL apps for ALL apple products?" His answer was, "Well if it improves stability, sure, why not?"
