Dan, what you write is correct, but this applies in business in general, no matter which field you function in. This fact has nothing to do with whether a platform has been designed well or poorly. Without the ecosystem of a company it always is and will always be difficult, tricky and risky to monetize your skills. However, the latest revolution in mobile increases the probability (probably slightly) for some people to make big jumps in their lives. Of course writing any application for Android/iPhone/WinMobile/ Blackberry/"Probably more to come" does not guarantee you to establish your own business and become rich.
