The whole thing is a fascinating read. Sure sounds like AAPL has its act together, Steve Jobs or no.
It also gives one an idea that IBM might get a real boost out of its relationship with Apple. Cook makes the case that IBM has strengths which are highly complementary with those of Apple. Can you say, “penetration into enterprise”???
Off topic: On the recent thread about the evils of Flash, someone asked where one would get support for HTML5. I assume, seeing that Apple has been dead set against Flash “forever,” that HTML5 support is built into OS X by now?
Since Safari 3. The original idea for the iPhone* was to have only Web apps -- the App Store launched with version 2.0. HML5 in Safari launched with, and on, the iPhone.
* One theory is that the iPhone 3G, released in 2008, was the phone Apple wanted to make all along. They couldn't get apps, 3G support and GPS working in the first iteration, but they pushed it out to hit deadline and plant the flag.
