When Steve Jobs called the iPads a “magical and
revolutionary product” as he unveiled it back in April 2010, The iPad offers
user experience that simply did not exist before and then the coming wave of
competing tablets will prove that this type of tablet computer’s got legs. When
Steve Jobs called the iPad a “product” you’re not buying a product, you’re
buying a platform. You are paying the price of admission to an entire ecosystem,
made up of millions of users, a legion of app developers, apple and you.
How does the ecosystem work? Its millions of other
users that form the basis of everything. They participate- with their wallets
and with their reviews and opinions, both in the App store and across the
internet- in an evolutionary system that rewards excellent software and
punishes the garbage. It’s natural (app) selection. It’s the app developers
that give the system its volatility. Their original ideas are the mutations
that allow the system to mature over time. Two go from where the app store was
in 4 years ago, to where it is now and to where its going to be in the coming
years. It’s our job to figure out what part of the ecosystem you want to
inhabit, which apps have a place on your iPad, iPhone .
