I think there’s a bit of language confusion in the article there (‘search engine’ etc), but I’m very interested to see if they make Google allow other app stores to act like first-class citizens, instead of heavily restricting them, even if the user does everything they can to allow them to install and maintain apps.
As for Apple… I would probably have been an iPhone owner long ago if they weren’t so heavily restricted. I like their products, just not their refusal to allow apps that didn’t come from their store.
