This just makes me think about all the wonderful iPhone applications that are being strangled in the cradle because their inventors don't have power and clout to pressure Apple the way Google does. I wonder if Apple realizes that Microsoft is to Mac as Google is to iPhone.
- tedunangst 17y agoGoogle is the company that's going to lose market share and consumer loyalty as people move to the iPhone?
- fpgeek 17y agoI'm thinking historically. Microsoft brought killer apps to the Mac (most notably Office) that helped them learn enough to eventually beat the Mac with an open(er) platform. This time it is Google bringing (or trying to bring) killer apps to the iPhone (voice search, Maps/Navigation, Google Voice, etc.) with a long-run intention of (among other things) applying what they learn to their open(er) platform.
