It's not a matter of keeping up. Name your 100 video sites for content that are currently inaccessible for the i-Pad that you visit at least once a week. Seriously. Hyperbole.

Seriously, bet me on the APP versus standards based web model ... let's see which is more sustainable. It's a proprietary crap, half-assed model that will FAIL. It simply fullfills a need NOW that in 12-18 months is gone. I made this same Apple bet 15 years ago and won it.. please tell me you'll put your money where your mouth is on this. You don't ACTUALLY believe that an APP based model isn't going BACKWARDS? As I said before, even Jobs knows better.

I don't see it as a better vs. worse thing. Obviously, apps are successful and they work. Otherwise, Android wouldn't HAVE a marketplace. Now, is it a little different that the i-Pad will require some apps where another device won't? Yeah, but as I've said, there are trade-offs either way. Hell, you can use the Twitter site on both the iPhone and Android devices, yet both offer Twitter apps because of increased functionality. What does that tell you?
But apps are here to stay. If you want to make a bet that the App Store is gone in 18 months, then I will SURELY take that bet. It's here to stay.
