Network effects. Or do we really expect devs to write proper code for 3+ entirely different native mobile platforms?

If only there was a way of delivery applications using a uniform set of rules independent of any manufacturer or vendor..

hmm what would I call that.... A standard perhaps..

Then maybe we could make that same application work on several types of devices and form factors that simply run that standard via a web of devices

We could call them Web Apps... A Web App Standard....

No, that’s why we need market regulations so that the two lucky platforms that won the game serves the people, and not only their wallets.
