Like I've said before. If Apple is doing a poor job, as you've stated so eloquently, then the devs will jump ship and join one of the "companies who...do services much better," such as Google. Apple set up their store before any other stores existed, which invites competing stores. OF COURSE they're not going to let others compete with them on their own platform. If Google thinks this is a good idea (which I don't believe for a second) then the devs will jump ship from Apple.
The fact of the matter is that the Android platform will soon have several competing independent stores along with competing websites that all aim to get content onto their phones. I know you think this is a good thing, but for the consumer it's terrible. Of course this model might create a better store that will eventually rise to the top, but you can't really say that Apple is anti-competitive when they're just the frontrunners.
- exactly.. competition breeds progress and better choices for users.. That's the whole idea of open.Boz
