I think it's pretty obvious that to succeed in the current smartphone\tablet\pocketable computer market that you have to have a very active and thriving developer community and marketplace.

If you're not familiar with id software and John Carmack, please do look him up in Wikipedia et al.

I've found his remarks about iOS vs Android's development+market+distribution side to be very interesting and relevant to the issue at hand.
