I'm sure everyone has had a good cry over feeling
bad for Apple, but the truth remains the same.
Apple made the bed they sleep in, by choosing to
exclusively support devices in garden walled
network environments.
Originally they wanted their phones to be on
Verizon's CDMA network. The reason is that contrary
to how other networks work (TDMA, FDMA), CDMA
separates telephony communications by using a
different language (code- cdma). Making it ideal
for Garden Environments. The reason Verizon
originally signed onto using Qualcomm's chipsets.
Making jailbreaking impossible.
With AT&T's network Apple gets only a Software
Walled Garden and although it works, it simply
can't replace the hardware Garden Walls available
on Verizon's CDMA chipsets!
So Apple's AT&T agreement is more expensive to run,
because GSM by it's very nature works by
integrating a variety of devices, frequencies
(FDMA) and Time (TDMA) networks together.
Consequently they have to run a system of dedicated
garden walled servers just for iPhones. That still
doesn't keep everyone locked in. Jail Breaking will
be an increasing problem for Apple. Where they
intentionally deprive users of choices other
network users have by default.
In the end this original choice to lock down it's
user base, will also be iPhone and iPad's downfall.
When everyone finally wakes up to the fact they are
living locked up in Apple's 1984 TV Commercial. In
fact, Apple's "1984" Global Dictatorship is being
exposed daily for what it is. A Trojan horse DRM
network control scheme to be unleashed in the
future. With push technology forcing updates and
punishment for breaking it's rules or out of it's
Prison Walls!
Dell on Monday announced its first Google Android-based smartphone, the Aero, on AT&T.
