I mean really, why should I be tied into their individual libraries, tools, API's, guidelines and feature sets.

The nerve of them to dictate that we write code that exploits their individual unique features and differentiators.

It would be much easier for us if they just got together and developed a common hardware/feature set and eliminated what makes one better than the other in certain areas.

And that is exactly what Jobs is getting at.

I don't even know what you mean.

You are talking about many languages and many platforms.

I am talking about many languages translated to work on a single platform. In no way does this exploit the single platform.
