Is Apple Getting SaaSy?

A larger yet pocketable iPod Touch can be the next big cloud event. A Mac that we keep with us anywhere, anytime. Just like a wallet.

... The front jeans pocket is the new rear jeans pocket.

The “MacTROU” (for The Rest of Us) can be untethered, like the Kindle providing web access via EVDO. But a hundred times better than the Kindle, this Mac can connect to ALL our files online.

... It's all about selling solutions, not just gizmos.

Apple can charge whatever it wants for the MacTROU, for the connectivity, and for a subscription to MobileMe. And it can collect for purchases of software, books, audio, video, whatever, which can then reside online, always available to the MacTROU user. All of these revenues can flow directly to Apple.

... Money is the ultimate content stream.
