That&#x27;s too bad but like everyone else said pretty obvious what the outcome would be.<p>I wonder what a third player in the mobile OS market would look like and if it&#x27;s even possible at this point. Microsoft is basically number 3 at this point, right? Yet they have so little market share that companies are activity leaving their marketplace.<p>I wonder if the next mobile OS isn&#x27;t an OS that requires apps to survive but, instead, offers a crazy amount of integration experiences. For instance if someone came up with a way to unify how to call a car then integrate that directly into the phone (so ultimately it wouldn&#x27;t matter if it was Uber, Lyft or even yellow cab).<p>Maybe not the best example but I&#x27;m getting the feeling creating a phone that needs apps to be highly functional is simply not possible at this time and another angle is needed to break in.
