“It is interesting to note that in the midst of open source mania, Apple is able to carve out a huge slice in the tech sector. Apple's approach is totally opposite to that of Google's. Apple controls the iphone's spec and its OS tightly but it opens up the development tools to outside sources and as we know it, the iphone becomes hugely successful. Contrast that with Google's approach- Google develops open source Android and allows different manufacturers to tinker with it and offer their own devices to run Android with additional functionality. But apps developers may need to adapt their apps in order to take full advantage of the unique functionality of each manufacturer's device. It seems much simpler to just write the codes once as in Apple's iphone.”

>>> it is a good point but may be moot if the whole, even fragmented ecosystem, of android grows to be bigger. tough to make a call at this point. I think initially the real losers are RIM and Nokia to begin with.

this article is saying apple is making a huge mistake but not sure I agree
