You're right that apps are a definite factor in the success of a platform. I think we can both be right here, so +1 yourself buddy :) Without any good apps, I think a more open hardware strategy is worthless - but a more open hardware strategy can translate to lower prices which make up for poor application performance, bugs, etc. In any case, I hope that everyone can get what they want. For me personally that means: Give me absolute control over what is running on the device.
