Interesting reading indeed.

Does one kill the others? Nope, neither do I think so, but one has more friends that surround him/her and those friends have never existed before. This perspective is just like the trucks and the cars that Jobs predicted.

Apple has 900,000 apps in its App Store that have generated more than 50 billion downloads. Android's Google Play is a very close competitor: It has about 800,000 apps that had been downloaded 48 billion times as of May 2013.
