Apple is showing the way forward

With the Iphone and IPad, Apple is giving us a little glimpse into a probable future. Services and information resources will be packaged as "apps", and be made available regardless of the kind of platform that you have. But, the content and its uses are controlled. Sellers of proprietary content, such as art, music and literature must love this, because it helps to conserve their old business cases. I am looking forward to the development and the "struggle" between free and controlled content. A big brownie-point for Apple and their courage to innovate and push us all forward.
