Is Steve Jobs Ignoring history or Trying To Rewrite It?

Very few people have the opportunity to make history. Even less have the opportunity to do it twice. Perhaps that is why it is so fascinating to see Steve Jobs as he tries to usher in the era of the mobile touch computing today, just as he ushered in the era of the personal computer for three decades. But I wonder if he is repeating the same mistakes that Macs relegated to a niche market. O he learned from mistakes by what Apple leaves at the top this time?

Jobs the mastery of full product Apple design is once more bites against the rest of the industry, except this time he thinks that he will prevail.Either his repeated moves keep Adobe Flash on the iPhone or its growing alienation with Google on Android, Jobs makes iPhone and iPad system relatively closed that Apple can controlar.Todas applications must be approved by Apple, ads displayed in applications will also start to go through Apple, and no matter how hard Adobe tries to open the iPhone to your Flash developers Apple shall maintain blocking all their efforts.

Developers and experts can cry foul everybody wants of lack of transparency Apple.But remember, companies are only open when it is convenient for ellos.Siempre has been fighting with Adobe on the realization of play by the rules of Apple developers. And right now make these rules because they are all customers.

In the era of desktop, Windows had the most apps that translated directly to sales.Today in the mobile, the iPhone has more applications and work wants to keep it that manera.Permitir that Adobe or Microsoft for applications developed for other devices for iPhone port devalues the iPhone, which Apple is cracking down so hard on Adobe. It is not about Flash, it's developers. As John Gruber writes :

App Store platform can become a platform standard de facto long-term. This is how Microsoft became Microsoft. At one time the developers wrote applications for Windows because many users were on Windows, and users have bought Windows PCs because it is just all software for Windows. That is the sort of situation that creates a license to print money.

But how long is that last license?IPhone faces a growing threat from Google's Android, mobile phones are computers worldwide mobile. only Apple makes the iPhone, but many phones manufacturers make Android phones to many PC manufacturers produce Windows PC.slowly but surely, these Android phones are better and better.And collectively are reaching sales already Android iPhone sales.

Of all persons, without a doubt that sees what comes. What is he ignored her own story, or is well aware that this time he is going to try to write by changing the result?As the iPhone is still the leading smartphone, he can try to block ads from Google and lock in the developers with your applications (and, by extension,) customers who want these applications.

Still, it seems that history could be repeated, with the rest of the industry of closing the gap with Apple rápido.Con Google innovation subsidize mobile operating system, other phone manufacturers have an economic advantage así.Todo I can to stop the advance of Android, including Sue HTC, the largest manufacturer of Android phones being trabajo.Él jobs is to fight Google with everything what you got - undercutting pending acquisition of AdMob Google by entering the mobile advertising market and creating fear among Android is associated with its patent lawsuit.

In the end, the winners who write the right historia.El now, Jobs is the winner. How can that he maintain winning or history against him?
