@monkbent Also paints a bleak future if MS succeed and make the most profit from hardware. (Could be interpreted as an opportunity though.)
@justin @Birdsoft @marcedwards @reneritchie @drbarnard completely agree here. I want to write about the iPad and apps, but a 4th is a lot

@marcedwards my views have evolved a bit since then, but broadly speaking, store policies make tactical sense but hurt iPad in long run -
@monkbent Seems to open up space for a pro and/or enthusiast platform, long term. -
@marcedwards yeah -if you have time take a listen to this: http://stratechery.com/2013/podcast-vector-missing-the-ipad-magic … I talk about the dev oppty in the middle I think -
@monkbent It’s cued up to play next already. Will pay attention to the middle section.

@monkbent Why count articles on a topic? Please write more about that. What are the AppStore policies you blame? I’m unclear on that point…Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent Related: We’re building a large new app based on APIs on all platforms. Given the uncertainties, it seems like flexibility is key. -
@marcedwards@monkbent by "APIs on all platforms" you mean mobile OSes? -
@FarshadNayeri APIs on all platforms = OpenGL, HTML5 etc. In our case, OpenGL/C++ over platform specific APIs/Obj-C. +@monkbent -
@marcedwards@monkbent careful--the opposite problem is stretching over too any platforms and not really capturing any.
