Android smartphone apps vs. MS desktop apps?
Got a better proof?
Preferably one which involves serious interest on the part of the developers (commercial or open source, either one).
How many of those apps were made in a couple hours with hardly more interest than a Hello World app. I am guessing they are all free.
Go take another look for me, this time count the number of Android apps with "Flashlight" in the title -- whose only job is to, you guessed it, toggle the flashlight on and off.
To bring this thread around back to the topic, just like Internet Exploder and Mozilla Firefox are and were competition, Amazon and Kobo are competition.
You can tell, because they they do the same thing (sell ebooks) but are in a vicious fight over who gets to sell you them.
Well, instead of MS Windows being the focus, IE is equivalent to the Kindle and websites are equivalent to books.
So not much hope for antitrust there on unbundling the embedded reader firmware.
