Two Dozen Carriers Worldwide Unite Against Apple’s App Store
Two dozen of the world’s largest mobile-phone companies, including Verizon Wireless, AT&T, NTT DoCoMo, Deutsche Telekom, China Mobile and Vodafone, are teaming up to create an “open international applications platform,” which is obviously in direct response to Apple’s success with its own iPhone App Store.
There’s such a thing as too many cooks in the kitchen, but this is more like too many greedy middle managers hovering over the stove.
Look. Developers will learn what they need to learn in order to make the things that they want to create. But I’ll tell you one thing. What I’m not interested in is making AJAX widgets for phones that come free with 2-year contracts. Furthermore, the last thing we need is another mediocre SDK built on frameworks designed by committee.
Best of luck.
