It's gonna get crowded soon, which is good for us :)
But the real show, methinks, is the battle for which standard will, going
forward, deliver rich media to your {g,i}Pad and web browser.
This is also known as the Adobe Flash vs. (open-standards) HTML v5 slugfest.
Summary thus far:
1. Apple releases iPhone 4.0 SDK, and changes license to prohibit apps that are
not written in programming languages it approves of.
2. Adobe cries foul, seeing as they've been working on Flash Professional CS5,
which can package Flash applications for the iPhone/iPad. Actually Adobe guy
comes as close as is possible to dropping the F-bomb ( see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/10/adobe_man_on_apple/ -- also read the
comments, which are very informative)
3. Microsoft debuts Internet Explorer 9, which will support HTML5, in addition
to a whole bunch of other Open Standards: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
So now we have Mozilla, Apple (Safari), M$ (IE9) and Google (Chrome) against
Adobe...
