What I do not understand is why no-one is complaining about Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 as a closed system but about Apples iOS line.
WHY is Apple bad for closing a system but Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are not? I really do not understand that.
WHY on earth has a cellphone to be open as a OpenSource project? Is there a reason for that? (Android has open sources but no-one can commit changes. It's all in Googles hands what comes into the next Android version which doesn't fit with OpenSource at all)
WHY is taking a 30% cut bad for all developers and Apps? (Jobs said that the 30% cut is not for SASS Apps but only for Newspaper Apps, right?)
Please give me some answers I'm starting to don't understand these discussions lately.
- CaptainZapp 16y agoA console is a very different biest from a mobile communication device, of which openness and interoperability is hugely advantegous to society. Thus the line apple is toeing here is a dangerous one. I wouldn't make the same argument for iPods, iPads or Macs.
