I agree, Blackberry also means some competition, more serious than iPhone when it comes to developers and a somewhat “open” SDK. After all they are the only ones, who try to succeed in “Hybrid” environments and support both Eclipse (like Android) and Visual Studio.
Their OS is proprietary and closed. Not like (most of;-) Android. So this places them more alongside Microsoft or Apple, but on the Tools front, they try to compete with Nokia or Google and gained quite some momemtum at EclipseCon, too.

Quash: You are right, and The VAR Guy confesses he should spend a bit more time covering BlackBerry. It’s the one device that businesses seem to love and consumers are starting to embrace very rapidly.

If you don’t include the rising power of Blackberry and how quickly it is moving in to the consumer market (now 40% of its sales) and how it is exceeding even its own sales projections, then you are missing a big piece of the puzzle. Blackberry is really beating iPhone to the punch. Google Android will have to deal with Blackberry. Won’t be as easy as many assume.

On Feb 2008, Apple had held more than 10 percent of the desktop market.

The way I see it, Android will “win” in that it will have much greater market share. The iPhone will “win” because there will always be that core hipster Apple-using fan base that will buy anything with the little white logo on its side.

Given Google’s behavior in China, I don’t think we need any lessons from Google, Android Developer.

Google may get to enjoy the benefits of the being the open (for development) platform, much as Microsoft did with Windows–however the similarities should end there. If Google does get a large mobile market share their history thus-far is much more likely to prove them a benevolent dominator in the market; however it will likely also test their principles and their “Don’t be evil” slogan.

As always, like the console games, Apple is locking applications to HW in order to keep additional revenues in house.

But the reasoning of application publishing being too restricted does not seems to be true. See, for instance, http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/03/18/iphone-20-sdk-how-signing-certificates-work/
where the author claims that similar policies exist for other manufacturers, in values greater than 30%, the value that Apple is charging. Apple sales channel (iTunes) seems to be wider that the competitors.
