This time, he stops by the blog of Steven Frank of Panic (maker of the excellent FTP client Transmit), who said he was ditching the iPhone because of the “toxic” ecosystem.
Steven didn’t republish Phil’s letter, but he says it was a “courteous, polite, and reassuring email,” the gist of which was “we hear you.” Lovely.
It’s great that Apple hears the grumbling—now they just need to actually do something about it. Admittedly, that’s no small task, since the entire App Store model is on the verge of shattering completely anyway. [Steven F via Mac Rumors]
