re: Blackberry wants to legally force developers to develop for their platform

To be fair, BB users developed work arounds for Netflix and then Netflix went out of its way to disable them. We are not talking pirating here. People still had to pay the monthly netflix subscription. It was intentionally keeping BB users from using netflix. I get it through the Amazon Appstore but you get the point. They've offered to pay to produce some apps and were told no as well.
However, Apple and Google took the risk, created their appstores, and BB sneered at them for doing so. Literally and publicly sneered. They paid a price for the arrogance.

The Palm App Store predates Apple and Google's. Apple, then Google, were the first to offer an AppStore through an application directly on the device.
ETA- Blackberry always seemed to have the enterprise market cornered over Palm, despite Palm being a vastly superior platform. I never understood that one.
