there are legitimate, not too mention important, questions to be asked about the lock-in model. but i think Manjoo significantly underestimates both the appeal and the benefits of centralized account access.the paradox of choice still applies.

Being a “power user” really sucks sometimes as iPhone 2.2 reminds me on Dion Almaer's Blog

"One more gripe with the iPhone even with this update…. I keep expecting the team to give us a decent friggin cache. PLEASE let me give the iPhone as much space as it needs to keep my stuff around! A mobile browser that is often on a crap network needs this more than anyone else! Cache more aggressively. Save my JavaScript and CSS! At the very least, don’t let me hit the back button and wait for the entire bugger to be grabbed again for the love of god! Why can’t I about:config and up the caching space and rules :(
