Apple
If you've seen my other Apple gripes, you might have read the one about where actually Apple and Windows are really the complete opposites of what most marketing would have you believe. The iPhone seems to really emphasize that point.
Apple seems to be doing everything in their power to clamp down on the "creativity" of iPhone users. You have to use Apple's software and Apple's cell network and Apple's choice of ring tones, etc. If you try to expand on the narrow confines of what Apple wants you to do with the iPhone, you'll probably be hearing from Apple's army of lawyers sooner rather than latter.
It seems that Apple gives you freedom as long as you confine that freedom to what Apple allows.
