He said they weren't religious about not supporting their software on multiple platforms. If that were true, iTunes would be on Android. How does that follow?

He said they weren't religious about not supporting their software on multiple platforms. If that were true, iTunes would be on Android. How does that follow? I think it's a rather strong signal that they're going to do it. Let's not forget that following his announcement that he wasn't "religious" about hoarding cash, a dividend program was announced. Let's not also forget that once upon a time they ported iTunes to a dominant Windows with incredible success. HN: I don't think we should aspire to comments like the parent that are filled with vitriolic personal attacks and name calling.

Well we'll find out soon enough. But then again Jobs promised Facetime would be cross-platform almost 3 years ago and there's still nothing there. Tim Cook could start by getting the Apple Store app (1) to Android and WP8. There's no reason not to and it'd be helpful for Apple's core business.

  It would seem a better return on investment to make the App Store work better in IOS than invest on an (at this stage) also-ran platform like WP8. However investing in android whilst keeping the 30% would be amusing, and, if it worked, amazing. But it's not going to happen is it...
