“At this point, we’ve seen enough apps to value quality over quantity,” Dvorak writes. “If you want to see the future of apps, don’t buy the magic 8-ball app, buy a Nissan Leaf. The all-electric puddle jumper comes complete with an app that allows you to talk to your car remotely… You can preheat the car, so that it’s nice and toasty for a wintry work commute.

Dvorak writes, “If you drive a Nissan Leaf, you will likely own an iPhone. This turns out to be an acute problem for the other platforms. Nobody will develop this sort of high-end app for any other platform because of instability. There are already a variety of Android ‘versions’ out there and tossing in other phone operating systems, such as Windows Phone 7 or the new Samsung throwaway OS, will not encourage anyone to put a high-end app on these phones. On anything other than an iPhone, you will get retread apps… Right now, the iPhone is the platform you can trust.
