... the straight line to inevitability a lot of people think it is. Why? Just as people fail to appreciate the importance of the App Store and the difficulty getting the surrounding application platform (SDK) right, they are forgetting about the 'unfair advantage' of having iTunes in your arsenal. Apple is playing a hot, and complete hand, and they remain very much on offense.
