I think Apple is counting on platform fragmentation to win here. Apple may be thinking that with WebOS, WP7, and Android, these big companies will probably get their biggest profits from Apple if Apple continues to be the biggest shareholder within the mobile platforms.

Unless I'm drastically misunderstanding the numbers, Apple already isn't the biggest shareholder in mobile platforms (http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/09/gartner-android-os-sales-trumps-ios-and-rim-grew-888-percent-in-2010/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/09/gartner-android-os-sales-tr...) That's why I think this strategy is suicide for Apple. They can reach more users on Android without having to pay a 30% toll.
