One of the things Steve talked about in his open letter is something Nokia's doing, which is requiring a digital signature. That way if there's something wrong with an application, you have a way to track it back to where it came from.
Joswiak also claims that one of the main advantages Apple has over their competitors is looking ahead to the future:
Our competitors tend to put the cross hairs on where we are now, and by the time they come up with a product that tries to match where we are now, were beyond them. Were one or two generations beyond, moving faster than they are.
