On: JWZ and the Palm App Catalog, Part II

[icefox]

I don't see any reason why palm couldn't still disable evil apps no matter where they came from.

[bhousel → icefox]

What if the evil app removes their capability to do so?

[icefox → bhousel]

If the app was on the device from the web or from a store it could remove their capability, but if the app is not yet on the device palm can easily upload a list of bad apps to not allow to run. Presumably this is what they would have to do with an existing app store app that went bad as a way to kill the one that have already been installed.

[hippee-lee → icefox]

What if the list on my phone is out of date?

[icefox → hippee-lee]

Then how would having bought it through the store done anything?
