Why do you keep saying "secure" and "locked-down" like they go together, when the opposite is true?

I'm sorry, I honestly didn't know that opening up iDevices to run arbitrary, unsigned code would be a security win. Can you elaborate on that?
That's not what I said. It's fine for devices to only run signed code. It only becomes bad when the owner isn't in control of whose code signatures are trusted.
Android devices generally fall into this category you're describing. Are you saying that Android has superior security to iOS?
