Why Apple Gaming is a Necessary Evil

Who is this Robert Boylin? Robert, that's a pro job; succinct, step-by-step map of components and movers of how this technology fits in apple's strategic agenda. What do you think about the iPhone? Incidental but capable as a gaming or music device, more functional as an access portal; a iTV remote in your pocket rather than on the coffee table, a camera, chat-cam, a house phone, a personal GPS navigation tool, a Blackberry, and of course, a cell phone. Add 3G cellular wireless internet access to the MacMini and some cable and Tivo-like features and the household information hub and entertainment center is complete. Killer app is with the ability of every parent to physically locate every child in the household within 3 meters if they would like. Daddy buys iPhone and mac system for that feature alone; the iLife and iTV and iPod and Tivo and movie rentals and Blackberry and all the rest, just come along as accidental benefits. And life in America is never the same.

My question is, who are Apple partners? Apple needs partners in this, two or more in each arena. Where are the key patents holders? [e-mail].
