This definitely seems true - which is interesting, since Apple and Google have both been floundering around unsuccessfully trying to create their own community experiences.

Facebook & co are really the prize here - whichever OS company can integrate the most deeply with existing social networks is going to come out on top. If either one of them can let go of the dream of having their own social network, they'll be able to move faster and get the edge.

I suspect that Google are more attached to that dream than Apple. However, they're arguably more capable of pulling it off.
