>> the two power-houses of Google and Apple to shape the industry
and they went in a bad direction imho:
- Apple closed down the app distribution process (we don't like what they are saying, let's censor Phone Story etc. etc. ..)
- The One of Google graps all information it can reach: the world (how boring it gets), me (nicely aggregated behind closed doors). Meanwhile spamming the world with ads.
Regarding the former, governments should enforce a non-exclusive app store policy. Regarding the second, it's more difficult, maybe the Chinese were right to 'shut them out'. Of course I like/kind of depend on some google services. Tricky.
