I am all for competition, but there are just way too many mobile operating systems out there. I remember a few years ago Vodafone was trying to minimize the number of OS’s on the phone they sold, because it’s obviously a pain customizing so many different operating systems. I’d hate to be a developer with all these, as you have to throw a bunch of resources into developing your app for the 5+ big Smartphone operating systems out there now.
Someone will always feel like they are getting the short end because the app will always be out on one OS before another. Look at Google Maps, they seem to randomly pick an OS and develop a new feature for that version while everyone else pleads for their OS to be the next to get the feature.
