i agree with a lot of the moaning about competition etc, but the tech argument is basically an admission of incompetence. the complaint is that "you used rubbish tech and didn't plan for the future"? thats not the fault of apple or ipad...
poor workmen blame their tools.
its funny how my hand rolled stuff rarely hits these problems and is easy to fix. but then years and years of working on every major gaming platform helps make you forward think these things properly...
as far as a platform to adapt to goes ios is on the very easy end of the spectrum. you want to see what microsoft have been trying to do... at least apple let us do native code with only minimal layers of their crap, and don't break too heavily the standard libraries that have served us so well for the last 40 years. android is almost as bad... i'm convinced google want to kill native code for whatever insane philosophical reason they have
