Here is a very rough draft of my first paper. If anyone has ideas of things to delete, or topics I should address that I didn't, please let me know. I'll deal with grammar/spelling after I figure all of the content out. Thanks for the help.

 Thoughts? The thesis needs work...its just a general idea

Apple claims that maintaining central control over their platform allows them to deliver a more polished and cohesive user experience (which, arguably it has), but they also abuse this power to pander to telecoms. Restricting tethering / use of 3G video calling on iOS are surely things that ATT/Verizon asked them to do, and being able to offer that gives them a competitive advantage when negotiating vis-a-vis open platforms like Android -- at the expense of their users / user experience. But how would opening up these things benefit Apple, when they need to keep telecoms happy? Android has obviously been hugely successful, but it is not Google's bread and butter -- they make little (if any) money off the project, but it makes sense for them because it serves as a funnel for their advertising business. Apple's bread and butter IS to sell iPhones at a profit, which they are currently able to do despite these restrictions. What is their profit incentive to change. I would avoid talking about Flash, because I think it is quickly becoming irrelevant in the post-HTML5 world.
