> Some people also wanted a hassle free device, which only runs curated apps

But Apple fails to meet this wish, too. If the curation consists of barely keeping out the absolutely worst of abysmal stuff, but allows regular crap apps, that does not count as "curated".

If they put out apps just because they were crap (subjectively) then devs and press would be shouting bloody murder.

But they do stop the riff raff -- at least better than the "anything goes" camp.
