It's the contest within the iPhone vs. Android contest: In Silicon Valley, developers are trying to decide whether a $100 million venture capital fund or a $10 million contest are better worth their time.
Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.
Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

include a GPS-sensor so that he can port his application to the
iPhone and boost its customer base."
Apple's iPhone SDK already has a Location service that "actually"
works thru triangularization but... will be "an already stablished
API" for when it comes that the iPhone get the GPS device.
So, Chau --except that its app need a milimeter-precise GPS--
can already be ported.
directors is a problem for him because of some competition?
Yeah, right.
Steve Jobs thinks that the Android is going to be successful with
different people than the iPhone will be. Seems the two
companies could not only avoid monopolistic charges by not
trying to take each other out, but could end up carving up the
mobile market and taking the lion's share between them as
Windows Mobile 6 continues its nosedive into obscurity.
similarities between the two companies in terms of their passion
for innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness. I think it's great,
because Microsoft have had it far too easy for far too long and
need to actually fight for once. Good luck with Andriod, Google!
description, but she eventually pointed out that where the Apple
App store may finally be potty-trained and just set for its first
day of kindergarden, Android is still just a twinkling in Google's
eye. There might be possibility for future competition, but
Apple's already firmly in the game with a business model and
means of deployment at the ready.
Just please, no one do the Ballmer monkey dance.
I have priced out competing computers from other vendors, and
when IDENTICALLY SPECC'D, my Macs were cheaper.
Not to mention the fact that the 'Doze boxes run far, far less
software than either of my Macs...
So please explain to me why I would PAY MORE for a 'doze box
that RUNS FEWER applications?
Come on developer$, I'm anxious to see some kewl and useful stuff on my iPhone!!
And if you think Jobs isn't keeping a close eye on Google, you'd be sorely mistaken. I'd be amazed if Apple continued to have a competitor on the board. At some point, you'd have to wonder if there's going to be a conflict of interest.
Also, all this talk about the iPhone vs Android and no mention of the competition they both face from Blackberry. Blackberry's share of commercial business continues to grow and their products get better with each iteration. They have the luxury of being in the pockets of virtually the entire Fortune 500. That's something hardly dismissable.
