@frigg: It's not the same and you know it.

@Tangetto: Under the current law, sure. But if someone pirates an application that they would never consider buying (LogMeIn Ignition, I'm looking at you. $30? Get out.) then who is being hurt, exactly? Does it diminish an author's ability to sell the product? No. Are there suppliers who are out money somewhere? No.

@paperless: It IS a reason to jailbreak. It will come up eventually when people research jailbreaking for themselves.

All the devs whining about the post talking about Installous is a little bit ridiculous.

@Fredman1365: the driver's seat does

Damn you and your believing in peace, love, and justice for all, Gizmodo! DAMN YOU!!!

@BulletProofVess: Superstitious nonsense.

@Nitemancometh: The HTC Desire is coming out in a few weeks on Telus.

@gerrycomo: Except for that fact that it is expensive as hell, and they don't offer streaming.

There's something here that people seem to be missing here due to the way the article is written.

@gizmodocon: Oh, an upgrade fee such as the one that Apple users had to pay for OS 3.0? Get lost, fanboy.

@A.Jaswal: That thing looks like it would tip over in a high wind.

@Jesus_Jones: It won't. It's different this time around.
