Is it so much of a stretch to believe that a vendor might believe it is in their best interest to control the application platform? Why give Apple the benefit of the doubt here? Ironically, one reason to do that is that Apple is active in defining and implementing Open Web standards, many of which are aimed at improving the Web as an app platform. Which, in turn, is exactly why this is still an “interesting narrative”--both Web and native are rapidly evolving.
- enos_feedler 11y agoI think it is in their best interest to control, but I've seen that spun as the end not the means. Apple's ultimate goal is not control of the app ecosystem, but to improve end-user experience. Control is a necessary part of that. And the narrative I'm referring to is web VS. native. like one is going to kill the other. We keep talking about this battle but there is no winner, each has their place. period
