I can?t hook my iPad up to my PC and browse it as just another filesystem, as I can with any other digital camera or MP3 player. Apple must do this in order to prevent sideloading malicious apps. Did you see my exchange with James Byrne? His bogus counter to my claim that iPads can?t be turned into botnet conscripts was to point (very indirectly) to a paper where some researchers found a way to jump through a whole bunch of hoops to bypass all the security Apple had placed...

...9;m not a lawyer and can't justify hiring one for a hobbyist project. In either case, it's clear Xamarin has become hostile to open source development with their product, so it's not something I want to test. This means apps built using my project could only be distributed directly (via sideloading) or via F-Droid or other open source friendly third party app stores, even if they're open source apps. So, I've been shopping around for alternatives to the LGPL portions of the Mono runtime which can more easily be licensed for open or closed source development on mobile or restricted ap...

Apple must do this in order to prevent sideloading malicious apps. OK one of us must have the self control to stop, because your arguments are terrible and I'm losing patience. What you just claimed, has nothing to do with encryption. It has everything to do with Apple simply not treating their devices as mass storage devices which they haven...
