you guys are giving human emotions to companies. ultimately it is all about selling well and making profit. and what sells well is what consumers feel is what they want.
mapping is a commodity, google doesn’t have the monopoly they had on it anymore. they are getting dropped even by amazon who are sourcing it from nokia for the kindle.
you can watch youtube videos on the iphone in safari. html 5 is here. you don’t need a special app to play youtube videos on the no-flash iphones, like was needed until a while ago.
EVERY company is “greedy” if you want to look at it that way. they aren’t non-profit orgs.
and the only reason apple can at times decide for their customers is because the customers still believe they have a good product. what use is NFC on your phone if you have no where to use it for another year or two? meanwhile its daemon sits and eats your memory, cpu, battery. there is more to a great product that great bits and pieces.
