The main game right now between the 3 competitors is simply a numbers game (or game of odds). Granted, each company has their own strategy or "philosophy" behind pushing their application development. I think the overall goal for everyone, though, is to "mass produce" the apps. That way, you're playing the game of odds to your advantage. And even though a good majority of the apps are dissatisfying, you also gain all the satisfying ones. Just my two cents. David, you make a really good point.

Apple isn't a big fan of actually giving customers what they want as much as they try to influence the trends that people are into. Microsoft isn't that much different but they don't have an eccentric like steve jobs telling us how to hold our phones to compensate for a design flaw. Android is atleast allowing for personal development, that way we only influence ourselves. But that is just my opinion.
