Oh please.

 

All this shows is a continuing trend at Apple, to control what their customers 
can and cannot do. It is not all that different from when they refused to 
install Flash players in their hand-held toys. Don't you get it?

 

So now they want to have control of your picture-taking.

 

What is totally predictable, though, is that Apple evangelists will twist this 
into being someone else's fault, just as they did when their new i toys 
couldn't get the content they wanted from their old reliable web sites. "Those 
greedy web sites."
