Great piece from Iain Broome on the simplicity of the Mac App Store, the bloat of the iTunes store, and the potential of iBookstore.
I think we’re all agreed that iTunes is getting more bloated by the minute. But that’s because iTunes houses and plays all our media, is the best way to buy and download new media, and is the only place to sync that media to our iDevices. That is a lot for what started out as an MP3 player, but I would rather have a bit of bloat than a lot of de-centralization.
