This is pretty stupid from Apple. > Paul Graham wrote a long post about Apple and the App store approval > process -http://www.paulgraham.com/apple.html As Joshua said in another post, we can bitch all day long, but so far Apple is winning - they sell a ton of phones, they're very profitable, they have the most mobile developer mindshare, and they have the most apps. Now I think their process is too secretive and too rigorous, but the only way to change that is through more competition for developers. Apart from Android, nobody really seems to put up a fight in this area. Microsoft, I'm looking at you - whatever happened to "developers, developers, developers" (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8To-6VIJZRE)? Nokia, I don't look at you because you're a hardware company, and hardware companies just can't do software. Palm, I'd really love to look at you, but your marketshare is so small, you don't even show up on the charts (http://www.businessinsider.com/chart- of-the-day-smartphone-market-share-2008-2009-2010-2) - and I loved my Palm III back in the day... Well, maybe 2010 is your big comeback year. And RIM: A visual interface builder two years after the iPone got one (http://www.berryreview.com/2009/11/09/rim-announces-opengl-es- support-new-gui-builder-for-eclipse/) - is that how you'll lure developers into your camp? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
