That's a flawed analogy. There aren't artificial limitations preventing you from then publishing your own newspaper. You have no such opportunity to compete with the App Store.
Pre-emptive note: countering with a response similar to "I wasn't referring to the App Store; I was referring to the iPhone itself, which you are certainly free to compete with." doesn't just betray your analogy as incongruous. It would reveal that your analogy was helplessly broken from the start.
- ryanhuff 17y agoI think the argument to your point is that the Appstore and the iPhone device are two components of one product. Following that analogy, the other outlets would be the Android marketplace, Blackberry AppWorld, or Microsoft upcoming app market.
- carussell 17y ago> the Appstore and the iPhone device are two components of one product Disagreement with this is the source of the uproar.
- carussell 17y agoThinking about it further, it's also horseshit even if you wanted to entertain the notion of "oneness". The App Store has been around only a fraction of the time that the iPhone has.
