While Apple may have shown the way for the music business to stay alive, look at the price we pay. We _have_ to use iTunes to watch any video we purchase through the iTunes Store. We put up with the DRM in iTunes. Apple denied Google their VOIP app due to duplication of functionality. Will that happen with other apps on the iPad? Will they allow another mail application? Will they allow another music application?
The model that the iPhone OS uses has each application use its own database to access files it creates. How will we access a text file created with one app in another editor? Will we first have to sync it with cloud storage and access the file that way from the second app? Also keep in mind that Apple once supported OpenDocument. This seems like its antithesis. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
