Our company Communication Software Inc. develops Medical apps for the iPhone and Android. We were deeply involved in development of the first Internet Boom in the 90's were I saw the same situation as the apps today. The first websites as are the apps of today were whatever anyone thought were cool with very little business planing to back them. Also, if you remember the 90's online businesses were offering non sustainable business models, example pricing models that lost money which is the same in today's app market. Most apps are free and with many of these; free is not cheap enough. This will change as the market matures and these poor business models companies and developers disappear.
As for which phone will lead the market in the future, it is hard to tell. Like so many new ideas, the leader fail behind as followers learn from the leader mistakes.
I believe Android is the wild card. It is open source and the development is in Java, the OS is free and manufactures are getting behind the platform because of cost. There are 18 new Android phones to be released this year. One thing you can count on it is going to be a good fun ride so hang on.
