Materializing app-store as a regular Mall's store, I think it's pretty fair that they decide what to sell. But I have to point out that I do not have any knowledge about how's the criteria on turning down some app from being added to the app-store. So far Apple was into a monopoly since there was no other competitive adversary.Android Market seems to be taking off pretty quickly, which will give a better view of how will be the future on online media content.
I'm still starting into Android Development, for now as an enthusiast. But before that I was really considering iPhone development, since I just happen to sympathize with the mobile platform. But ouch, I really didn't enjoy the idea that in order to develop for a phone I must own a computer from the same brand. It just sounds weird (I'm not even comparing it to Windows, since it just installs in the same hardware I have Linux running (and by that I mean that there's no 'workaround' needed)). I wouldn't have a problem to pay for a license on a software instead. I just think that app-store was this huge success because iPhone was the had no competitors so far, not saying that a phone released later will be the real competition, but is really seems that the real deal is the ideals behind it. One will be required to choose what's the optimal philosophy that he want's to be part of. -- Christian Bernini -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
