    This is a different kettle of fish than the Maps situation.


     


    Maps aren't exclusive. Apple can simply write their own Maps app, and everyone moves on with their lives without skipping a beat.


     


    But YouTube is the benchmark. What if Google decides to play harder-ball and not release a YouTube app? What if Flash content is championed again?


     


    It's one thing to deny Google traffic via the Maps app, but another thing entirely to run the risk of your users being unable to access the content that they want... that will impact sales sooner or later...

    They lose out on ad revenue and iOS users.






    What if Flash content is championed again?




     


    And what if ADB and ADC replace Thunderbolt…

    I guess I'd have to check my scsi-drive to make sure I had the right drivers. If not, I'd have to reload them off of floppies?

    And lock out all mobile devices from YouTube?  Including Android phones?


     


    Or did you miss the news nine months ago that Adobe officially killed Mobile Flash?
