Related to platforms, I think Google still lacks the clear vision that Apple seems to have. Within next few years, one can watch movies, listen to music, browse internet, read books, play games, respond to mails, be in touch with friends, work on docs, spreadsheets, etc., using either iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV [if anything new gets released], MacBook, and Mac Desktop. Most of these are already possible, but what I am talking about is complete interoperability, while still having the same experience of using the specific device. I believe, Apple will work closely with the app developers to make their applications even more portable across the various devices that Apple builds. With Microsoft gearing up for Windows 8, they also seem to have similar future in mind. I did n't come across any such plans from Google. I believe, Google would be at a disadvantage if they don't have a similar full encompassing ecosystem. And I don't see ChromeBook getting significant market share anytime soon [if at all].
