Yep, the difference between them is that Apple had the luxury of waiting a year before tackling the app store (and experience with iTunes to draw from) whereas Google needed an app store on Day 1, albeit a store they could neglect.
- berntb 16y agoPoint, but they also got something existing to copy -- and be compared against.
- forgottenpaswrd 16y agoPoint, it is way easier(and far less work) to copy than to design something from scratch.
- berntb 16y agoThat was half of my point; the other half is that the copy will be compared to the original. When you steal a design and reimplement, only Microsoft (ten years ago, not now) got away with doing it worse...
- Tichy 16y agoThe Apple App store sucks, too.
