Doing a crappy subset of their job will become irrelevant - I certainly agree about that. Doing the "whole" job is really what we are debating. I'd make the case that having lots of crappy different services out there is what provides the

Dropbox have one special ingredient - it actually works. Do you think Samsung or Acer are going to come up with something robust and resilient? Even if they did, do you think it would work on Mac or iOS or WP7? Do you think Microsoft's s

There was a poxy operating system a few years ago. It only ran on one 32 bit architecture, didn't have multi-processing, had limited device support and a rather bizarre set of dev tools. Then they tidied things up a bit. But when they ad
