Wi-Fi: Apple’s Enemy?

Posted by on Mar 8, 2010 | 4 Comments

Are we seriously to believe that Wi-Fi is to become the enemy of Apple products? Well, at least for apps in the App Store, apparently. Seems that we now need to concern ourselves with the fact that Apple’s App Store is beginning to ban products that can help people avoid the horrible AT&T network.

So kiss goodbye the various Wi-Fi finders and other discovery tools. And in exchange, we in turn will be stuck with AT&T’s craptastic network. Personally, I find Apple’s need to make the iPhone suck as much as possible unfortunate at best… unacceptable at worst.

Clearly instances like this, among other choices Apple has made recently lead me to believe that eventually, we’re going to see more people leaving Apple’s way of doing things for alternatives. The company is fast becoming the next Microsoft. It’s rather sad.

    Um, it’s not like there isn’t a built in “stumbler” that finds any available hotspots any time you open an network app.

    It’s not like they’re disabling wifi (and making us stick to AT&T) – like AT&T would want that…

    This is just getting rid of a rather unnecessary app category that was likely using private APIs in violation of the agreement anyway.

    I just p a i d $21.87 for an i P a d 2-64GB and my boyfriend loves his Panasonîc Lumîx GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS.I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $657 which only cost me $62.81 to buy.
    Here is the website we use to get it all from, BidFirst.com

    I don’t see how these companies can call themselves wireless – if you have to plug in the charging pad, that’s NOT wireless. There is quite clearly a wire involved.
