All Your Apps Are Belong to Apple

If Apple's mobile devices are the future of computing, you can expect that future to be one with more limits on innovation and competition or “generativity,” in the words of Prof. Jonathan Zittrain than the PC era that came before. It's frustrating to see Apple, the original pioneer in generative computing, putting shackles on the market it for now leads. If Apple wants to be a real leader, it should be fostering innovation and competition, rather than acting as a jealous and arbitrary feudal lord. Developers should demand better terms and customers who love their iPhones should back them.
