What these authors fails to see is that innovation does not come from the big guys and that is all a heavily regulated platform will attract. In my mind I project that a lot of the authors must be younger, and have not been through one of the typical screw the developers cycles. This has been seen so many times in the tech sector, it is almost like clockwork. The small developers will pack their bags and take their innovation to another platform, once one is up to par and that is the trick, as of now Apple is ahead of the pack, and so long as they are, developers will put up with them, but as soon as another platform is on par; The trickle will start to happen. Apple knows this and they have placed a huge bet on the fact that, they can remain the leader of the pack. I would assume that they feel that their patents are strong and that will keep them the front runner given their suit against HTC.
