		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps Apple is realizing that the world is much bigger than it&#039;s closed eco system. By limiting it&#039;s users options, it will effectively start it&#039;s backward spiral into obsolescence. 
Apple users are starting to realize that their products, &quot;just DON&#039;T work&quot; like it&#039;s competitors. 
Apple needs change. It needs to adapt, and give it&#039;s users real choice and options. Apple devices shouldn&#039;t need to be &quot;jailbroken&quot; to increase their functionality. Apple is now a follower not a leader.
Unless Apple opens up it&#039;s devices or it&#039;s iOS to other manufacturers, it will begin it&#039;s decline into irrelevance.]]></description>
