家园 The apps are now

the King Maker.

Apple delivered not one but two major "paradigm shifts" in the mobile space. (Sorry for the totally obsolete buzz word)

The problem Android have is by the nature of Android's open source approach, the platform itself is a moving target and worst of all, no one knows where it will go, not even google. Not to mention the diversity among the actual devices. Guess that's partly why Android chose Java as the designated language, it need as much hardware agnostic as possible. But still certain censors and screen real-estate differences could easily reach a point where there is no way to guarantee apps running across these devices without major issues. The problem is already surfacing as the current T-Mobile G1 having little chance of getting updates from now on for it just doesn't have enough ROM. Things will only get worse by 10x - imagine someday HTC Hero need to upgrade to Android 3.0 and Google made some API changes but HTC fail to update its Sense UI accordingly. It could happen so easily It will almost certainly happen.

Android haven't forked, yet. (WebKit is on the verge of forking however, and that's rather unfortunate.) I just can't wait to see how the unwashed mass react when that inevitably happen. Wouldn't it be plenty fun?
