"Apple owns the future of mobile devices, not because it has erected a near monopoly market position protected by major barriers...
It just happens that Apple is making the vast majority of all the profits in mobile hardware, software, media and services....
There's a fact that can't be overemphasized: the history of technology has been directed by those who sold the products generating the greatest overall profits and successfully reinvested those profits into innovation. They get to chart out the future, at least until something that's even better at making money comes along..."
This may be a good observation, as long as "innovation" part still works as promised...
But what is really new coming recently from Apple?
I was looking for "Card / Stacks" UI, mentioned as a future direction of iOS UI also...
Apparently it all started from Apple's HyperCard from 1987...
