All the big apps for BB10
We have seen many threads on what apps are needed for BB10 to suceed, I see a growing trend for some of the bigger apps made by companies that have a stake in a certian OS. If you are Google why would you put Google maps on BB or IOS( yes I know they just launched maps for ios) In one of the articles I read it said that Google wasnt that keen on building out apps for IOS. If Google maps is a must have for you than I think Google would want to push you to Android. I understand that 3rd party developers would gain more by having thier apps available on all platforms, some do have an agenda. For instance, MS could limit Office applications on other platforms to drive BIZ traffic towards WP8. There are many examples and I see the market starting to get tighter on certian apps. Companies are going to get less friendly to other OS to try and increase market share through exclusivity. I also can see someone like MS paying for an app exclusivly like Netflix. Also does MS really want Skype on BB10?
Just my theory
Re: All the big apps for BB10
Part of the deal for the purchase of Skype by Microsoft was to support other platforms. As much as they might like to leverage Skype with W8, it's not in their best interest to make it an exclusive.
