      Betting against a new Apple platform is betting that none of the thousands of new apps that developers create for it will be great.

      @cdixon No. Apple could screw up the platform itself. It has to at some point.

          @paulg @cdixon with how limited the initial SDK is, I think the platform and first party apps are going to determine its initial success.

          @paulg @cdixon All platforms are screwed up in their own ways - those constraints fuel clever workarounds and innovation in general.

          @paulg the skeptics I've been reading have been arguing "no compelling use case." Your argument is better.

          @cdixon Pebble shows they're wrong about that. The hope (as a Pebble investor) is that Apple will miss the sweet spot sufficiently.

          @paulg @cdixon "Apple must screw up at some point" Why? Entropy? Apple has already royally screwed up a few times, but recovered.

          @paulg @cdixon Apple has redefined interaction > interface; everyone is focused on screen size but Apple delivers on functional utility

          @paulg @cdixon that's analogous to betting that Barcelona will lose their next game because they have to at some point.

          @aidano No, contradicting a universally quantified statement is analogous to betting Barcelona will eventually lose a game.
