I am suddenly seeing why EU has many fewer startups than US. Get successful enough and you are forced to give your work away to everyone. What clearly took millions of hours of work to perfect becomes public property with no compensation to you. Why is AirDrop better than Android Beam? Probably much work on polishing and designing it right. It uses a very clever custom peer-to-peer wifi mode that "magically" coexists with existing WiFi connectivity to make it work in all cases, something google never invented, Apple did. And yet... now Apple is forced to give the design away (because interop requires implementing the same design on both side).
