I was concentrating on their creation process and it's impact on innovation and the technology industry as a whole. Regarding your example, tablet devices Android and iPad have distinct methodologies, Android being open and developer orientated while iPads are consumer focused. The app stores have both positive and negative points, but to software developers it's been a huge opportunity. It's funny you should mention the stagnated gaming industry. The current consoles are nearly a decade old, and Nintendo seem to be the only ones thinking outside the box.

Android is open source, but that isn't reason enough to rip off someone else's UI. Atleast Microsoft's innovating and not just copying stuff wholesale(which admittedly it used to do a lot in the past). Regarding opportunity, the MS store will very likely be the biggest opportunity for software developers in a decade. There are more than 500 million Windows 7 users, and assuming that only 20% of those people upgrade, devs will still have a 100 million strong customer base.
