It seems that anyone who tries "to party with Apple" ends up with an 
almighty hangover sooner rather than later.

While Apple's "Toys R Us" 
we-think-we're-cutesy-using-deliberately-incorrect-grammar maybe "Think 
Different", the truth
is not "Think" but "Be" to a bloody-minded extreme for the plain and 
simple reason that is guarantees they can keep 99% of the profits
in their pockets.

Microsoft Windows is flaky round the edges; hence viruses. Apple is 
bound round with steel; hence next to no viruses, and extremely
difficult to "talk to" from anywhere else.

Of course . . . one could develop LiveCode standalones for iOS to be 
loaded through Cydia on Jail-broken iPhones and iPads, and
one wouldn't have to "share one's spit" with Apple . . . but I guess 
that that is just too wild for most would-be iOS developers: don't know
why.
