What Apple has done it the past with Mac OS X (the desktop OS) is that they go and buy the product from you.
Examples:
* Coverflow(first standalone app by a developper) was bought by Apple.
* The new iTunes visualizer was also first developped and then bought by Apple.
We'll see how Apple handles it with the iPhone
- liscio 17y agoNot always the case. For example: Watson (http://www.karelia.com/watson/ http://www.karelia.com/watson/), was killed by Apple's Sherlock. Later, SandVox (http://www.karelia.com/sandvox/ http://www.karelia.com/sandvox/) was later followed up by Apple's iWeb. The list goes on... Indie Mac developers have taken to calling this act, "Sherlocking". See a mainstream usage of the term here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1137 http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1137 So, Apple swings both ways. :)
