Yes, thats true. Apple is extremely monopolistic. The 'I' in Itunes, Iphone, Ipod, means the Apple Corporation.

But to give credit where its due, theyve created a global eco-system one stop center in Itunes.

While its Ok to customize, applications need support and revenue to improve, thats where Android as a mobile platform can strike a balance.

A lot of apps on itunes are really good, and Ive known users who have spent hundreds on apps alone in Malaysia.
There theyve already built on a quality and brand.
Android needs to do the same. Creating some sort of platform for android mobile on the PC/MAC where users can browse and purchase apps, not only through the mobile app store


On another disadvantage, I have yet to see an android phone that supports 3g video call. It is probably due to OS limitation rather than physical

but the games for android cant come close to the quality of the games on itunes... not as yet. i think one of the reasons is because of lower end models like the tatoo and first gen google phone may not be able to handle the graphic intense operations.
some of the games on iphone even look better than those on PSP graphic wise..
