There is no relevance between Apple and Palm or Blackberry.
Of course there is. They are all mobile platforms that were dominant players. The context of my point is right in line with the article you posted.

More specifically, the context of this discussion was platform dominance translating to to developer focus/resources, so I'm talking about user share/engagement not shipments/units. RE the 2008-2009 period... it's the *relative* strength that plays into the phenomena the article was citing. In other words, a platform with 30% user share and growing versus two other 30% players that are declining is doing much better than one with 35% share that is flat versus a competing platform with 55% that is growing.
