When Apple introduced the iPhone in Jan 2007, I knew instantly that this was going to be the mobile platform of the future.
This was a Mac masquerading as a Phone with the capability to do almost anything. Unlike other phones which formatted the web pages for the particular device, this device would eliminate the need to turn on my computer when you go home. In fact it eliminates the need to carry a Laptop for some travellers.

The combination of Music, Video, Computing and Internet (besides the phone) makes this the one and only device we will ever need. Apple seems to have finally learnt from their mistakes (due to which they lost to Microsoft's Operating system) and realized that to make it a success, they need to move all future mobile development to this platform by exposing the programmatic interface (API).
The best incentive Apple has provided the development community to adopt this new platform is the facilitation to develop and sell their applications via the App Store. The App Store will succeed where the shareware model failed. A method to write and sell applications without worrying about such non-geeky stuff like marketing, selling, delivering and billing.
