That sounds like a pretty scary future where one can only use "pre-approved" apps from a couple of entities like Microsoft or Apple. Android will remain the only open system from this point of view (Linux, too, but it's not very popular with consumers right now).

Sure people will still jailbreak stuff in the future, but making jailbreaking illegal is just one bill away. If you remember, that almost happened about 2 years ago, but fortunately a lot of people protested against it that time.
