Well put, Gregor. It does in fact seem that Apple is treated as more important than it really is, in terms of market share. Give that to their marketing and the support of fanatical fan boys and tech pundits. Just heard an ad last night for a Netbook touting that it's "Flash Enabled" - its possible that Apple's strategy of exclusion might backfire. It certainly seems silly on Apple's part to limit apps because of the source. That's like saying we only want e-books for our device that were written using a specific word processor.

They'll still be fine though, Apple is free to ignore the agreement when it suits them, and they aren't going to cut off Unity. They'll just reject anything written for Flash / DotNet. At the end of the day, Apple get a disproportionate amount of media coverage to their actual market share. Apple blocking the iPhone is annoying, but we still have the market leader (RIM), Android, etc. Flash Player 10.1 will end up on more devices than the whole iPhone install base. I'd rather call myself a mobile developer than restrict myself to being an iPhone developer, and that hasn't changed. Gk.

Doesn't Unity work by using a real Xcode project ? Unlike CS5...
