That's very cool, or maybe not it seems it could only allow other stores to install software and not 'whatever you want', but are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony, whose consoles aren't a very different case to apple iOS devices, as well? No mention in the article
...are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony...
They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.
In Japan, companies > people. Because the ruling LDP has won the election for 80 years almost 100% and people believe economy = stock market.
My first thought was Sony locking the PS3 (?) from being able to use linux. Curious if this would apply to them too.
