My point is now that they have Angry Birds, etc. they may not really need small developers. Back in the late 1980's and through the mid 1990's there were lots of independent computer shops building PC's in the U.S. The industry changed and those shops are largely gone.

What the report indicates is that the gold rush is ending. Yes there's still mining, but it's increasingly being done by Rio Tinto with giant trucks, not someone squatting in a stream with a pan.
