    "The funny thing is Apple is the only company really well positioned to do something like this."

    Scary but true. I'd like to think that other companies are positioned to compete, but I just don't see it happening. I'm not sure if it's about hiring the right people, or having the right divisions (software, hardware, etc), or just the right vision. It can't all be about money, otherwise Microsoft would have done this already.
