Also, they do allow developers to build third party apps. So Apple is most surely not working alone.

However, their model is more closed than Google’s. This is one reason they are turning so aggressively to tragic patents. They are a significant handicap courtesy of a very broken patent system.

I never thought they would go down so low.

The ironic thing, I wrote in Ghabuntu’s blog about the dangers of hostile companies suing Linux/Open Source projects, and, 2 days later, it happens. Seems like I was foreseeing this tragedy.

Google enjoys the work from dozens of other large companies on Linux. Apple is essentially trying to catch up with IBM, Intel, HP, Red Hat, Google, and others. Developers are shown (e.g. in new surveys) to prefer to code for Linux/Android, not iOS.
