2. iOS devices are now going to be independent of Computers. Apple is killing the PC.
Including their own. iOS is their main income now and Apple is worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined.

They used the phrase 'PC Free' more than once today. It even has an icon:



The day is coming where Laptops and Desktops will be for 'power users' and portable devices will be our main devices.

4. That might mean one may not need a computer to sync to.
I wonder what will happen to all my web sites?

7. On a server, just like it is now. June 2012 will be the end
of my MobileMe account. So I guess I have time to figure out how my sites will be handled. Many of the images I post here are parked in a folder in iDisk.

13. It's one license per iTunes account, then all Macs tied to that account.
That's what I read at one of the Mac news sites.

You do have to have the latest Snow Leopard first, though.
