Actually Apple and Google are doing something to dev houses, they're commoditizing their products. When an app costs 0.99 it's easily replaced with another one

- mooreds 12y agoRight, which explains why the dev houses are aggressively moving away from being commoditized, either by selling mobile dev services where the app is a value add to an existing service, or building an app that relies on the network (where there's ability to differentiate).
