I think this competition is very healthy to IT market and good to costumers.

Going to crazy measures to kill 3rd party apps… why? why screw your own stupid customers? But on second thought ipeople don’t seem to have much interest in value or functionality, so no threat.Any word on whether the Android platform is shiny?
