I draw three conclusions:
- Apps overtaking digital music is a watershed event. Apps are a new medium: they will impact all other media.
- As the number of apps attached to any single device continues to increase, apps create increasingly higher switching costs for users.
- Apps consumption is increasing at a rate to overtake the PC software market.
This is just incredible. The result of point number one will be mind-boggling for culture as a whole.
