U.S. Department of Justice in 'Early Stages' of Drafting Possible Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple

[cocky jeremy]

Blackberry lacked the ecosystem of a myriad of third-party apps (that Apple and Google/Android now have).

Apple (and Google/Android) aren't in the position they're in because of making great products.
It's because they enabled others - third-party developers - to make great products. And successfully distribute them.

Just as Microsoft did for desktop computing software.
And that makes their respective position basically unassailable.

Spending billions of dollars on making an operating system no one uses today to rival iOS/Android isn't feasible.
And convincing developers to support such OS is impossible.

Then it looks like these companies missed the boat.. Oh well. Innovate somewhere else then.
