Henry Blodget quotes
Once again, Apple has seized the early lead, launching a revolutionary product that is taking the world by storm. ... In its short life, Google's Android operating system has captivated developers and stolen mindshare from Apple... [Apple] is coming under increasing scrutiny for being a domineering control freak hell-bent on secretly undermining its competitors ... the movie is starting the same way.

Apple fans should be scared to death ... Apple is fighting a very similar war to the one it fought - and lost - in the 1990s. It is trying to build the best integrated products, hardware and software, and maintain complete control over the ecosystem around them. This end-to-end control makes it easier for Apple to build products that are 'better,' but it makes it much harder for the company to compete against a software platform that is standard across many hardware manufacturers (Windows in the 1990s, Android now).
Henry Blodget
Apple's emphasis on short term greed instead of long-term investment will end up hurting the company and its shareholders and customers over the long haul. ... What Apple does not seem to understand ... is the fate that almost all niche platform providers eventually succumb to - gradual loss of influence, power, and profitability, followed by irrelevance.
