There will be a very big opportunity for something that ties all these platforms together in the near future.
My iPhone has its own development platform
My wife's Android phone the same
My LG TV has its own App API
My Philips Blue ray player has its own App API
Samsung just announced its going to develop yet another OS for mobile phones...
The market is fragmenting so fast its with all these "App" platforms, that there will be a great incentive for the first to create the "write once" , "run everywhere" tool chain. This will of course take a few years, but so many different platforms cannot be sustained.
First comment on the original article regarding getting their money back....
Oh, and here's a nice bit of dodginess:
"The costs of the venture should have been lessened by the contracts signed by the IT providers making them liable for huge sums of money if they withdrew from the project; however, when Accenture withdrew in September 2006, then Director-General for NPfIT Richard Granger charged them not £1bn, as the contract permitted, but just £63m.

They are probably making lots of money from bored housewifes playing "casual" games -- not from the Real software that was once their core product.
They sued Microsoft ages ago, settled in 2005 for 76mln and bought several online gaming sites from the cash.
An example of horrific Kenyan police abuse is captured on video and quickly spreads through a young population with internet enabled phones.
Youth violently riot -- demanding better opportunities for themselves.
Army moves in -- thousands die. President is toppled.
Likely scenario?
Visited a beautiful bookstore in the south of the Netherlands a few weeks back -- located in a redecorated church it is the best possible place to have a bookstore. It has a great feel to it.
But its likely not going to last , last I heard the company has payment problems -- shame really.
My father tried to sign up -- he received the "You are not old enough" message.
He was mumbling about having to be over 80 before you can qualify.
So far it seems all hot air with no substance beyond the GizMag article. No other news source picked this up.
No Australian company by the name of IAT21 is attending the 2011 Paris Air Show either.
Very nice point and click adventures. Syberia on Wikipedia
Great graphics, good story and very relaxed atmosphere. These are old games -- released in 2002 & 2004 but still look pretty good even on a 27" screen.
And you can find them on Steam for less than US$ 10.
Basically nothing changed since Clifford Stoll wrote his book The Cuckoo's Egg (book) back in 1989.
It wasn't the Internet and VOIP scams, but East European spies and 1200 baud modems. The FBI didn't care then either.
I played with it for a while at a toystore -- couldn't see the 3D no matter how hard I looked at the headache inducing blurred image.
This is the first time I am incompatible with an electronic toy, I urgently need an upgrade.
