Until Apple…..
• Accessibility• Visibility• Payment channel• Brand *
Apple controls• Accessibility• Visibility• Payment• Certain permissions of App
Developers own• Brand: Angry Bird• Users (benefit of 3G)
Apple keeps the door open to every developer.
Google controls Accessibility, Visibility, and payment, but not exclusive.
Advantage: Lower risks in sells channels, more flexibility.
