Tim Cook has a sulk and threatens to banishment from the Walled Garden

Apple Boss Tim Cool appears to have had a massive sulk about people wanting to sideload apps and even suggested that if Apple fanboys wanted this functionality they should move to Android.

Apple’s line on allowing developers to use payment options which are not blessed by Apple and for which represent a profit line to the fruity cargo cult, is insecure. There is no reason to suggest that this method is less secure than Apple’s own software, but it has the Tame Apple Press convinced.

However, Cook said today that customers who wish to sideload apps should consider purchasing an Android device as the experience offered by the iPhone maximises their security and privacy. Again there is nothing to suggest that Android is any less secure than Apple’s operating system, but it is rare to see Apple suggesting anyone leave its walled garden of delights for any reason.

Speaking at The New York Times "DealBook" summit, Cook said that customers currently already have a choice between wanting a secure and protected platform or an ecosystem that allows for sideloading.
