There has also been a lot of movement and buzz recently what with new updates coming out including iOS 5 and Mango, as well as the rumour mill getting involved about the possibility of Apple releasing iPhones that aren't linked to a contract or a carrier. This, combined with their recent tendency to take the best jailbreaks and include them in software upgrades (or just do what the other guys have done, only better), makes us wonder how much longer it takes until Apple turns their whole strategy on it's head and opens up the software on all it's devices to developers.
Maybe the announcement by research firm IDC that Windows will have 20% market share within the next 5 years has been the cause of a re-assessment of strategy. Whatever the cause, we should all be cheerful: it means the end user is going to get better and better products as developers vie for domination.
